Americas · Clearance (DNIT approval)
Clearance through SIFEN: each DTE is digitally signed and approved by the DNIT, with over 2 billion DTEs processed by January 2026. RG DNIT 52/2026 sets the closing calendar – group 20 joined 1 Sep 2026, group 21 follows 1 Dec 2026, and groups 22–24 land on 2 Mar, 1 Jun and 1 Sep 2027. One extension of up to three months is possible on written request at least 30 working days ahead.

Two questions. The fixed-establishment rule is where most foreign businesses get it wrong.
Roughly how big is the business?
Is your business established in Paraguay – a company, branch, or fixed establishment there?
Not in scope for Paraguay
With no establishment and no RUC, SIFEN does not reach you – imports are documented on the buyer's side. Revisit if you register locally or start supplying the Paraguayan state.
RUC-registered – designation decides, not size
A foreign business holding a Paraguayan RUC is inside the system the moment the DNIT designates it – the resolutions name taxpayers, not establishment types. Selling to the state already requires SIFEN. Check the RG DNIT 52/2026 annex for your RUC rather than assuming you are outside.
In scope – check your group in RG DNIT 52/2026
Smaller taxpayers come in through groups 19–24: 1 Jun and 1 Sep 2026 have passed, 1 Dec 2026 is next, then 2 Mar, 1 Jun and 1 Sep 2027. The free e-Kuatia'i tool covers low-volume issuers. If the dates are impossible, one extension of up to three months can be requested in writing at least 30 working days before your date.
In scope – you are likely already on SIFEN
Larger taxpayers were designated in groups 1–18 (2022–2025), and every state supplier or contractor has needed SIFEN since 2 Jan 2026. If you were named in RG DNIT 52/2026, check your group's date – group 21 joins 1 Dec 2026 – and remember your paper timbrado dies the day after it.
A single date hides the rollout. Here's the full sequence.

Scope
Electronic tax documents (DTE) issued through SIFEN, phased by DNIT-designated taxpayer groups since 2022. State suppliers and contractors have been obliged since 2 Jan 2026; RG DNIT 52/2026 designates around 3,000 further taxpayers across groups 19–24, running to September 2027. Issuers use e-Kuatia integrations or the free e-Kuatia'i tool.
General Ley 125/91 sanctions. The sharper penalty is practical: from each group's start date, pre-printed and self-printed timbrado documents lose validity the following day, so paper invoicing simply stops being legal.
