- Service rendered outside Bolivia: that is what makes the income foreign-source and keeps it outside both the IUE and the RC-IVA.
- Local company (SRL/SA) under the general IUE regime, without the additional 25% rate that applies only to regulated banks and financial entities.
- Dividend to a Bolivia-resident partner; the effective 12.5% IUE-BE is only for foreign beneficiaries (non-residents) and does not apply here.
- If the work is physically rendered from Bolivia, the activity can be deemed carried out on national territory (Law 843, art. 42) and the income becomes Bolivian-source, taxed under the IUE (if invoiced as a business activity) or the RC-IVA.
- The effective 12.5% IUE-BE (25% on a presumed 50% profit) only reaches remittances and dividends paid to foreign beneficiaries, not residents.
- Bolivia has a limited double-taxation treaty network and does not fully participate in CRS: traceability of foreign accounts is limited through other channels.
