Frequently asked questions
Do I pay income tax in Paraguay if I'm an expat working remotely?
Yes, if you're earning employment income in Paraguay and your gross annual income exceeds PYG 80,000,000, you'll owe Personal Income Tax on provision of personal services. Below that threshold, no income tax is required. You'll also need to contribute 9% of your gross income to social security as an employee.
What are Paraguay's income tax brackets and rates?
Paraguay has three progressive income tax brackets: 8% on income up to PYG 50,000,000, 9% on income from PYG 50,000,001 to PYG 150,000,000, and 10% on income above PYG 150,000,001. These rates apply to employment income after you exceed the PYG 80,000,000 gross income exemption threshold.
How much will I pay in social security contributions?
As an employee in Paraguay, you contribute 9% of your gross income to social security, which is deductible from your taxable income. This rate applies to commercial entities; financial sector employees face higher contribution rates.
Is my take-home pay calculated before or after social security?
Social security contributions (9% of gross income) are deducted from your salary and reduce your taxable income for personal income tax purposes. Your take-home pay is what remains after both social security contributions and income tax are withheld.
What deductions can I claim against my income in Paraguay?
Personal deductions for housing, health, education, and other expenses are permitted in Paraguay, but they're highly variable and depend on your income level. The tax calculator doesn't model fixed deductions to maintain consistency across different salary ranges, so you should consult with a local tax professional about what specific deductions apply to your situation.
