Tax registration for foreigners in Georgia
You need a Georgian tax ID, for example for a residency certificate, as a sole trader or if you have Georgian income.
What it is about
Foreigners register with the Revenue Service; sole traders register through the Public Service Hall. You then get access to the rs.ge online portal for returns and certificates.
A tax ID alone creates neither tax residency nor a right of stay. VAT registration becomes mandatory only from GEL 100,000 of taxable turnover within 12 months.

Questions about this service
Do I have to travel to Georgia for it?
Not necessarily; with a power of attorney we can handle the registration for you.
Do I then have obligations?
It depends on the purpose. Sole traders file monthly; private individuals only with Georgian income.
Can I get a tax ID without being a sole trader?
Yes, private individuals can also register, for example to obtain a residency certificate.
