Peru

Peru applies a top marginal personal income tax rate of 30% and a corporate income tax rate of 29.5%. The tax burden is moderate-to-high, though various deductions and treaty networks may reduce effective rates. Capital gains face a 30% tax rate, which is on the higher end globally. Long-term holding strategies and tax treaty benefits may help mitigate the impact. Peru taxes residents on their worldwide income, including foreign-sourced earnings. This means income from overseas employment, investments, and business activities is subject to domestic tax rates, though double taxation treaties may provide relief. Peru permits dual citizenship, which provides flexibility for tax planning through establishing residency in a second jurisdiction without forfeiting existing citizenship rights.
