What clients should know.
1. Georgian tax law is subject to ongoing legislative development — regular review of tax positions is advisable for all active businesses.
2. Georgia operates a territorial tax system, which creates significant planning opportunities for international businesses.
3. The Georgian Revenue Service has broad powers of audit and assessment — maintaining complete and accurate records is essential.
4. Double tax treaties between Georgia and key partner countries can significantly reduce withholding taxes on cross-border payments.
5. Tax planning must be conducted within the bounds of the law — aggressive tax avoidance structures carry increasing legal and reputational risk.
6. Foreign investors in Georgian real estate face specific tax obligations that may differ from those applicable to Georgian residents.
