Uruguay offers attractive tax conditions for foreign investors seeking tax residency. Law No. 20.446 provides an 11-year exemption from tax on income from foreign capital for those who meet one of three criteria:
- staying in the country for more than 183 days per year;
- owning real estate in Uruguay worth at least 2 million USD;
- making annual investments of at least 100,000 USD in the Innovation Fund.
After the 11-year tax relief period, a 5-year transitional period applies with a tax rate of 6%. Upon completion of the transitional period, the standard IRPF rate of 12% applies to income from foreign capital.
This system makes Uruguay one of the most attractive jurisdictions in the region for long-term planning and capital protection.
