Accounting for Individual Entrepreneur with Small Business Status (1% Tax) in Georgia
Foreign entrepreneurs and freelancers who register as an Individual Entrepreneur (IE) in Georgia and obtain Small Business Status benefit from one of the most attractive tax regimes in the region. Under this system, qualifying entrepreneurs pay only 1% tax on annual turnover up to 500,000 GEL.
Although the tax regime is simple, Individual Entrepreneurs must still comply with several reporting obligations before the Revenue Service of Georgia (RS.ge). Proper accounting and timely submission of monthly declarations are essential in order to maintain the Small Business Status and avoid administrative penalties.
What is Small Business Status in Georgia?
Small Business Status is a special taxation regime available to registered Individual Entrepreneurs whose annual turnover does not exceed 500,000 GEL. This system is particularly popular among freelancers, consultants, IT specialists, digital service providers, and remote professionals working with international clients.
