Georgia in brief
The Caucasus’ open-for-business economy.
The Caucasus’ open-for-business economy.
Georgia has spent two decades removing friction from business: the public registry incorporates an LLC in 1-2 days for a nominal fee, there is no minimum capital and foreign founders may own the company outright. Positioned between Europe and Asia, with free-trade agreements reaching the EU, China, the CIS and EFTA, Georgia works as a genuine operating base rather than merely a paper address.
The tax system follows Estonia’s distribution model: corporate profit is taxed only when paid out, so retained and reinvested earnings carry 0% CIT. Targeted regimes go further: the Virtual Zone removes corporate tax on qualifying IT services sold abroad, International Company status reduces qualifying technology and maritime businesses to 5%, and Free Industrial Zones provide 0% CIT for manufacturing and trading. Bank of Georgia and TBC also routinely onboard foreign-owned companies.

Taxation 2026
Pay only when you take money out.
Georgia taxes corporate profit on distribution rather than when it is earned: retained and reinvested profits carry 0% CIT. A distribution triggers 15% corporate tax plus 5% dividend withholding. Targeted regimes go further - the Virtual Zone removes corporate tax for qualifying IT exporters, while International Company status reduces qualifying businesses to 5%.
Retained profit - 0%
No corporate tax while earnings remain in the company. Reinvest, hire or accumulate without current CIT.
Distribution - 15% + 5%
Corporate tax applies when dividends are declared, with 5% withheld on the payout.
Virtual Zone - 0%
IT companies selling qualifying services abroad pay no corporate tax on that revenue and 5% on dividends.
International Company - 5%
Qualifying IT and maritime businesses with Georgian substance pay 5% CIT and 5% payroll tax.

Talk to a specialist →FAQ
Company registration in Georgia, answered.
Can I open a company without visiting Georgia?+
Yes. A Georgian LLC can be registered under a power of attorney, and the bank account can often be opened the same way. A short visit may speed up banking, while original documents can be sent by courier.
How much does it cost to set up a Georgian company?+
Turnkey company registration in Georgia starts from $1,900, including state fees and the first year of the legal address. Packages including support with a local bank account start from $2,700.
How long does registration take?+
NAPR registers most LLCs on the same or next business day. With tax registration and documents, the full file is usually completed within a week.
How does the 0% tax actually work?+
Georgia follows Estonia’s model: corporate profit is taxed only when distributed. Keep or reinvest earnings - 0%. Declare dividends - 15% corporate tax plus 5% withholding.
What is the Virtual Zone?+
A status for IT companies selling services outside Georgia: 0% corporate tax on qualifying foreign revenue and 5% on dividends. The application carries no state fee and is usually approved within ten business days.
What is International Company status?+
A deeper regime for qualifying IT and maritime businesses with genuine Georgian substance: 5% corporate tax, 5% payroll tax and 0% on dividends. Local presence is required, so eligibility should be assessed before applying.
How good is Georgian banking really?+
Bank of Georgia and TBC offer modern multi-currency accounts and routinely onboard foreign-owned companies. Fully remote cases may start with an EMI while the local account is being opened.
Does the company file accounts?+
Yes. Monthly declarations apply when payroll, VAT or distributions occur, with nil returns otherwise, plus simple annual statements. Accounting support starts from about $100 per month.
Can the company help me live in Georgia?+
Yes. Genuine business activity can support a residence-permit application, and founders may combine an LLC with Georgia’s one-year visa-free stay where their nationality qualifies.
Georgia or Estonia - which one?+
The tax logic is similar: both tax distributed rather than retained profit. Estonia adds EU membership, e-Residency and EU banking at higher maintenance costs; Georgia competes on price, local banking access and the Virtual Zone regime.
