We obtain Small Business Status: it takes effect on the day the certificate is issued — from that day you pay 1%.
What you should know
The 1% rate applies with Small Business Status and turnover up to 500,000 ₾ a year (≈ $180,000). From the month you exceed the limit to the end of the calendar year, the whole turnover is taxed at 3%; exceed the limit in two calendar years and the status is revoked. Declarations are filed monthly, by the 15th of the following month — we send instructions and walk you through your taxpayer account on rs.ge.
Eligibility for 1% depends on your activity. Consulting, legal, medical and audit services are excluded — the list is fixed by Government Decree No. 415, Annex No. 4. That is why we check your activity at the consultation, before you pay: if 1% is not available, we say so straight away and calculate the standard regime instead.
Small Business Status takes effect on the day the certificate is issued — usually within two business days of the application; you can invoice straight away. VAT registration becomes mandatory once taxable turnover passes 100,000 ₾ in any 12 months; services to foreign clients generally do not count towards that threshold — we go through your situation at the consultation.
Common situations
A developer works for an EU company under contract. We register the IE in 1–2 business days and obtain Small Business Status — from the day the certificate is issued, the income is taxed at 1%.
A designer lives outside Georgia (the country) and cannot travel. We set up the IE and the account by notarised power of attorney for $800; the card and a SIM card go out by post.
A consultant learns at the consultation that Decree No. 415 excludes his work from the 1% regime. We calculate the standard 20% regime and an LLC alternative — he decides with the numbers in front of him, before registering.
Documents you need
Your passport, a Georgian SIM card and an e-mail address. For remote registration — a notarised power of attorney; we send the requirements in advance.
Eligibility for the 1% rate depends on your activity and the 500,000 ₾ annual turnover limit. The final decisions rest with the Public Service Hall and the Revenue Service.
