The new law aims to encourage investment, enhance competitiveness, and support small producers in Peru’s agricultural sector

Peru published Law No. 32434 on 10 September 2025, establishing a legal framework to support the productive, competitive and sustainable transformation of the agricultural sector.

The new law aims to encourage investment, enhance competitiveness, and support small producers in Peru’s agricultural sector.

The law introduces a new income tax regime for agricultural companies, effective 1 January 2026.

Under this regime, the income tax rate will be 15% from 2026 to 2035, after which the general tax regime rate will apply, currently set at 29.5%.

Investments in hydraulic infrastructure and irrigation works used in taxable agricultural production, acquired or built from 2026 onward, will benefit from a 20% depreciation rate.

Additionally, companies can claim an extra 25% deduction for the value of products purchased from small producers registered in the SUNAT Agricultural Producers Registry.

Taxpayers producing and selling agricultural goods that are VAT-exempt will be eligible for VAT refunds (18%) on acquisitions, provided they meet specific requirements. Those who have previously waived the VAT exemption may also be eligible to reclaim it.
