Working from Georgia

Which form is yours
and what is due.

Four forms, one monthly filing — and people who have done it through here, by name.

01

Pick your case

Four forms. Most people here are the first one.

the common answer

Sole trader, 1% status

One person billing clients abroad

1%of turnover, not profit

Set up
1–2 days
Costs
₾0 to register

The catch: Capped at ₾500,000 a year. Go over and the rate changes retroactively for that year.

the common answer

LLC

Two or more people, or anyone hiring

15%on profit you take out, not profit you keep

Set up
1–3 days
Costs
~₾200 with a lawyer

The catch: Reinvested profit is untaxed, which is the actual point. Taking money out is the taxable event.

the exception

Virtual Zone

Software, written and sold abroad

0%corporate tax on IT export

Set up
2–8 weeks
Costs
₾0, but you must qualify

The catch: Granted per company after review, and refused more often than the guides suggest. Dividends are still 5%.

the exception

International Company

An established firm relocating, not a new one

5%corporate, and 0% on dividends

Set up
2–4 months
Costs
Lawyers, and a real office

The catch: Requires two years of the same activity abroad and staff on the ground here. Not a startup route.

“The first declaration went in on the 12th — not at midnight on the 15th.”— Tom, after the job

Nobody pays to be on this shelf. The order is jobs done through here, nothing else.

03

What is due

Every row says who it is for, so nobody reads four that are not theirs.

What people actually earn

A monthly range after tax — and how many reports it is built from. A range from three is a guess.
