Make your next business decision with a clear understanding of Georgian tax. We help company owners, investors and individuals work through tax questions, compare options and put the right arrangements in place.
Tax advice for the decisions you face
Starting a company, signing an overseas contract or moving to Georgia can change how you are taxed. Bring us the transaction or the business plan you are considering. We will explain the Georgian tax position, the practical options and the records you need to support your decision.
What we can help you with
- Choosing between an individual entrepreneur and an LLC.
- Understanding VAT, reverse-charge VAT and payments to foreign suppliers.
- Company profits, dividends, payroll and payments to owners.
- Tax residence, international income and cross-border transactions.
- Reviewing a Revenue Service notice, a proposed filing or an existing tax position.
Advice you can use
Tell us the question you need answered and any deadline. We can arrange a consultation, review the relevant documents or prepare a written analysis. You will know the proposed work and fee before we begin. If the matter also involves another country, we will identify the questions to take to your adviser there.
Read the transaction before choosing the tax answer
For a business owner, the most useful advice often starts with one payment or one contract. What is being supplied? Who performs the work? Where are the parties and the people making decisions? Those facts determine which Georgian tax provisions need to be applied.
A foreign customer, a Georgian company registration and a low advertised tax rate are pieces of the picture. Put the contract, actual work and money flow together and the answer becomes easier to explain and implement.
Get the tax calculation into the business plan
For a freelancer, compare Small Business Status with the actual activity and expected receipts. For an IT team, examine International Company status alongside salaries and distributions. For an ordinary LLC, calculate the company cost and shareholder receipt before declaring a dividend.
What a useful tax question looks like
Bring the decision you are about to make. A company owner may need to choose how to pay a shareholder, an IT business may be comparing tax statuses, or an individual may need to establish how an overseas payment is treated. Identify the amount, parties, proposed date and documents already available.
The answer should connect the commercial facts with the tax calculation and the reporting action. Where an assumption matters, state it expressly. That lets the owner understand what would change the answer and keeps the advice useful when the transaction is implemented.
| Question | Prepare before the discussion | Practical result |
|---|---|---|
| Which business form fits the work? | Activity, contracts, owners, expected receipts and costs | Comparison of registration, tax and reporting |
| How should an owner receive money? | Accounts, shareholder details and intended payment | Dividend, salary, reimbursement or financing analysis |
| What is the VAT treatment? | Customer/supplier details and example invoice | Supply classification and reporting action |
| How is an overseas payment taxed? | Contract, recipient, residence and purpose | Withholding, treaty and VAT analysis |
| What should be done about a tax notice? | Full notice, delivery record and relevant returns | Issue list, evidence plan and deadline |
Turn the answer into a reliable record
Retain the advice with the final contract, tax calculation and return. If the commercial arrangement changes, record the change and review the affected tax treatment. A clear file helps a new accountant, a director or a future reviewer understand why the company took that position.

How are cross-border questions handled?
We analyse the Georgian tax position and connect it with the relevant residence, treaty, withholding, VAT and transfer-pricing questions. Where another country’s domestic law is involved, identify that work with the adviser responsible there.
Can you prepare a written tax analysis?
We can prepare a written analysis around the agreed question and documents. Confirm the facts, legal issues, calculation and recommendations needed, together with the work and fee, before the review begins.
