Paraguay as a strategic platform for expansion
Growth, efficiency, and access to Mercosur
In recent years, Paraguay has ceased to be just a cost alternative and has become a strategic decision for Brazilian companies seeking to grow with efficiency and competitiveness.
Located in the heart of South America, the country offers unique conditions for expansion within Mercosur.
Why companies are moving to Paraguay?
The internationalization movement to Paraguay grows consistently — and not by chance.
The country combines factors that favor business operations:
- Competitive tax incentives
- Reduced operational costs
- Legal stability for investors
- Strategic location in Mercosur
- Logistical ease for export
Tax environment
Paraguay has one of the most competitive tax systems in the region.
With models like the "Triple 10" system and the Maquila Law, companies can operate with significantly reduced tax burdens, especially in export-oriented operations.
- Triple 10: Relação competitiva baseada em 10% de IVA, 10% de Imposto de Renda Empresarial e 10% de IRP.
- Maquila Law: Regime de atração industrial com suspensão tributária para importação de insumos e imposto de apenas 1% sobre o valor faturado para exportação.
This allows for higher margins, competitiveness, and reinvestment capacity.
