Business in Georgia: the 1% tax is not a myth
IE or LLC registration in 1–2 days, small business status, tax portal and a bank account. I guide the whole path in English — and handle the Georgian paperwork myself.
The numbers businesses relocate for
IE or LLC — matched to your situation
IE (individual entrepreneur)
For freelancers, IT specialists and exported services. With small business status you pay 1% of turnover and file one online declaration a month. Minimal accounting.
Step-by-step IE guide →LLC (company)
For partner projects, hiring employees and working with larger counterparties. Profit tax — 15%, but only on distribution: reinvest and you pay nothing.

What changed — and why it's not a reason to walk away
Since 1 March 2026 Georgia has a new labour migration law: foreigners need a work permit for labour activity, and for the self-employed and IEs the rules apply from 1 May 2026. It's not a ban — it's a procedure: the documents are entirely obtainable if you do things properly and on time, and that's exactly what I help with.
The second honest point — banks. Georgian banks review foreign applicants individually: compliance asks about your source of income and business background. A prepared document package solves most problems — don't walk in off the street.
And third: your home country's tax rules still apply to you. Georgia has double taxation treaties with 50+ countries, but whether the Georgian 1% closes the matter depends on your tax residency — worth calculating in advance. More in the article about the 1% tax.
