Integrated management of international accounting within a unified service framework.
Support for meeting tax obligations, reducing exposure to compliance errors, and structurally aligning operations between Paraguay and a U.S. LLC through coordinated accounting oversight.
- Paraguay accounting: VAT (IVA) + Personal Income Tax (IRP)
- U.S. LLC accounting: Form 1120 + 5472
- International tax coordination and ongoing advisory
What the Service Includes
- Accounting in Paraguay
- U.S. LLC Accounting
- Cross-border tax coordination between both structures
- Ongoing advisory and monitoring
- Control of obligations and deadlines
Structural setup alone is not sufficient.
Establishing residency in Paraguay or forming a U.S. LLC does not, in itself, resolve tax compliance obligations. The critical factor lies in maintaining the structure correctly over time.
Most structural failures occur at this stage, failure to file tax returns, lack of clarity regarding tax jurisdiction, overpayment due to inefficiencies, and exposure to penalties and sanctions
The advisory objective is to eliminate these inefficiencies and provide clarity on what must be filed, when, and in which jurisdiction.
This service is appropriate for profiles that:
- Hold tax residency in Paraguay
- Maintain or intend to establish a U.S. LLC
- Generate international or digital income
- Require reduction of compliance risk
- Seek a structured and efficient framework
Simplified system with defined rules.
Personal Income Tax (IRP) in Paraguay
IRP applies once annual income exceeds approximately PYG 80,000,000. The effective rate typically ranges between 8% and 10%, rather than applying directly at a flat 10%.
| Annual Income | IRP Applicability | Effective Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Hasta 80.000.000 Gs | Not applicable | 0% |
| Above PYG 80,000,001 | Applicable | 8% – 10% |
IRP applies to Paraguayan-source income and activities performed within Paraguay.
Value Added Tax (IVA) in Paraguay
The key consideration is not only the rate, but the applicability depending on activity type.
| Activity Type | Applicable VAT |
|---|---|
| General services | 10% |
| Basic goods | 5% |
| Exports / international services | 0% or non-taxable |
Even in cases where VAT is not payable, monthly filings may still be required, including periods with no activity.
The critical factor is not only the rate, but correct interpretation of applicability.

FAQ.
Yes. The core value of the service lies in the integration of both structures under a single coordination framework, ensuring alignment between jurisdictions and consistency in execution.
In many cases, yes. This is a common source of non-compliance. Monthly monitoring and filing control are required to ensure that obligations are met even in periods without activity.
Yes. The absence of tax liability does not eliminate reporting requirements. The entity remains subject to mandatory filings and compliance obligations.
No. Applicability depends on income levels and whether income is sourced within Paraguay. Proper assessment is required to determine obligations accurately.
