The Corporate Tax Rate in Panama is 25%. Historically, it has ranged from 37% in 1998 down to the current 25% since 2011. This rate applies to taxable income generated in Panama, as regulated by the General Directorate of Revenues.
No. Both residents and non‑residents must file taxes in Panama, but only Panama‑sourced income is taxable. Foreign‑earned income is not subject to Panamanian taxes, which makes the country attractive for international entrepreneurs and investors.
All accounting records must be kept in Spanish. Companies must maintain a general journal, general ledger, minute book, and stock register. For commercial activities, a general diary and general ledger are required to remain compliant with Panamanian law.
