6. Taxes: Uruguay

Argentina. For full detail on Argentina, go to The Argentine Thread.

Taxes in Uruguay: the 25 percent IRAE on Uruguayan source business income, the IRNR withholding of 7 percent on dividends and 12 percent on most other payments abroad, IVA at 22 and 10 percent, the 1.5 percent wealth tax on companies, five year loss carryforward, the 15 percent domestic minimum tax for large multinational groups and the five year limitation period, each tied to the official consolidated text published by IMPO. For the Argentine side of treaty or cross border tax questions see The Argentine Thread guide.

Investor view. Uruguay pairs a flat 25 percent corporate rate and a 7 percent dividend withholding with a source based system and a stable, codified text, a predictable tax base that rewards reinvestment and long horizon capital.
