How to get tax benefits in Georgia

Quick overview

Buying property or launching a business in Georgia makes it wise to understand possible tax benefits and how to secure them legally. This guide gives practical steps to prepare, register and document your case so you avoid common pitfalls in Batumi real estate.

Types of benefits (high level)

There are different schemes: benefits tied to tax residency, simplified regimes for small enterprises, and sector-specific supports. Which apply depends on your activity, the property type and how you register ownership.

Step 1 — confirm tax residency

Determine whether you qualify as a tax resident and how that affects taxation of income and assets. Many advantages require formal residency or documented economic activity in the country.

Step 2 — register address and/or business correctly

An official address and properly filed registration are prerequisites for many benefits. Consider whether owning directly or through a legal entity better serves your tax and operational goals.

Step 3 — check sector and local incentives

Some sectors or development projects may have special terms. When assessing an investment in Batumi, ask local advisers whether any local or sectoral incentives are relevant and what proof is needed.

Step 4 — keep records and supporting documents

Any tax relief will require supporting documents: contracts, reports, proof of residence, tax returns. Keep originals and organized copies for audits.

Practical steps before you buy

1) Get advice from a local tax lawyer or accountant. 2) Align the transaction structure with tax considerations: ownership form, declared use of property, and registration. 3) Model how potential benefits affect the expected return on your investment.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Relying on informal promises without formal paperwork.
• Failing to maintain adequate bookkeeping and proof.
• Choosing an ownership structure without checking tax consequences.

Next steps and where to look
