Frequently asked questions
What is Georgia's Virtual Zone?
Under Georgia's Information Technology Zones law, this is a status for a legal person creating qualifying IT in Georgia. The law exempts profits from supplying that IT outside Georgia; it does not set a 1% effective distributed-profit rate. Dividend treatment needs a separate tax review.
What activities qualify for Virtual Zone?
Software development, IT consulting, SaaS, cybersecurity, and similar technology services provided to foreign clients typically qualify. Retail, trading, and non-IT services do not.
Do I need to be in Georgia to incorporate?
You can prepare the paperwork remotely, but for most banks in Georgia you will need to be present in person to open an account. The incorporation itself can be done via power of attorney.
Is Georgia in the EU?
No. Georgia is an independent country in the South Caucasus. It is not an EU member, but has an Association Agreement with the EU and EU candidate status applied for in 2022.
