I’m self-employed
Earning legally while living in Georgia
Running your own business under a simplified tax regime — the reason most people move to Georgia. We put it together in full: registration, tax status, right to work and a bank account. And we calculate honestly when the simplified tax regime will end: it applies up to a turnover of 500,000 GEL per year, while the VAT obligation kicks in much earlier — once turnover reaches 100,000 GEL in any twelve consecutive months.
Who it suits. For freelancers, remote workers, and those running their own business.
What is included
- We register you as a sole trader
- We register small business status — a 1% rate on turnover
- We obtain the right to work
- We accompany you to the bank; if refused, we try a second one
- We calculate your thresholds: when the simplified tax regime ends and when VAT kicks in
What the package does not include
Paid separately and directly, with no markup from us.
- The bank decides: the bank opens the account on its own terms and may refuse — we prepare the package and go with you
- Government fees: registration from 26 GEL, permit from 200 GEL
- Accounting support is a subscription — 150 GEL per month
- A promise that an account will be opened: banks refuse, and no one can guarantee it
From 1 March 2026, earning income in Georgia without the right to work is a violation, and the fines here run into thousands of lari. Those who were working before the reform must act in time until 1 January 2027. The trap is not in the permit itself: after it is issued, the application o the residence permit remains ten days. Market sells these two documents separately, and almost no one mentions the ten days does not write — we track both deadlines.
Registration, small business status, the right to work, and a bank account — all in one go.
Company with virtual zone status: profit from services rendered outside Georgia is tax-free.
on the market you may come across “virtual zone status from €300” — that’s an application for the status, when you already have a company; this price covers the company, status, account, and address together
Prices are in Georgian lari; the dollar figure is for reference. Government fees are paid separately and directly. 18% VAT does not apply to these services: it only applies once turnover exceeds 100,000 GEL within a 12-month period. SVOY initial consultation — 150 GEL · $56, credited in the cost of support. The short initial call is free.
Other points
