Maquila Implementation

The 1% Tax Export Advantage (Maquila)

What is Maquila and How does it work?

Maquila is an investment attraction system that allows goods and services to be produced in Paraguay at the request of a company based in the UK. The finished products are then exported worldwide according to the specified requirements.

This system presents a unique opportunity for companies seeking to take advantage of a wide range of tax and duty reductions offered by the Paraguayan government, significantly enhancing their competitiveness.

The process is governed by a contract between a legally established company in Paraguay (the Maquila company) and the UK-based Head Office. The Maquila company operates on behalf of the UK Head Office, producing both tangible and intangible goods for the international market.

Head Office: Contracting company established in the UK.

Maquila Company: Contracted Company, which may be established in any part of the Paraguayan territory.

The Head Office can send capital equipment, inputs, and raw materials to the Maquila company, either directly or from any other country. These goods enter Paraguay under the temporary admission regime and may remain in the country for the duration specified in the Maquila program, which ranges from 6 months to a maximum of 1 year. Capital equipment can remain in Paraguay as long as the Maquila project is active, potentially indefinitely.

The entry of goods into the country is exempt from taxes and duties; however, a guarantee must be provided beforehand. This guarantee can take the form of a mortgage, pledge, bank guarantee, or insurance policy. The contracted company can also source goods, services, and labor within Paraguay.

Once completed, the final products are sent to any export market destination, always on behalf of the Head Office.

The output from the Maquila program can also be sold in Paraguay, limited to 10% of the export value from the previous year. The National Council of Export Maquila Industry (CNIME) must approve this sale once all temporarily suspended tariffs have been paid.

The movement of all goods under the Maquila regime is managed through a system of checking accounts that oversee temporary admission, export processing, and returns.

Who can benefit:

Paraguay allows for the incorporation of up to 60% of extra-zone origin and 40% of regional origin to obtain MERCOSUR origin, enabling access to the entire market without tariffs.

For this reason, Paraguay serves as a highly convenient gateway to the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR), of which it is a founding member
