Bolivia's economy is heavily reliant on natural resources, including lithium, natural gas, and minerals. The general corporate income tax (CIT) rate is 25%. Personal employment income is generally subject to RC-IVA at a rate of 13%. In terms of social security, employers generally contribute 17.21% of total payroll, with the mining sector at 19.51%; employee pension contributions are typically 12.71%. The value added tax (VAT) rate is 13%, and as the tax is included in the price, the effective rate is approximately 14.94%. Dividends paid to residents are generally not subject to additional withholding tax. Payments to non-residents such as dividends, interest, royalties, and service fees are generally subject to withholding tax at a rate of 12.5%; certain activities performed within Bolivia may qualify for a reduced rate of 2.5%, while compensation paid to non-resident individuals for services rendered in Bolivia is generally subject to a 16% withholding tax. Bolivia has entered into double taxation agreements with several countries and regions, which may alleviate double taxation on cross-border income when conditions are met.
