Step by step

  1. Choose the LLC form and confirm the intended activity and any licence requirement.
  2. Prepare the charter, founder identity, signatures and foreign documents in the form required by the current NAPR route.
  3. Confirm capital, fee, timing and notary treatment against the current NAPR fees and terms page.
  4. Submit through the official registration channel and retain the registry response and tax-registration evidence.
  5. Confirm corporate tax, VAT and small-business treatment separately because incorporation does not settle those regimes.
  6. Check pension coverage and the real gross salary before making the first employment offer.

Taxes the new company will meet

The record publishes 15% profit tax, 18% VAT, the GEL 100,000 VAT threshold and small-business regimes, but eligibility and free-zone treatment remain condition-specific.

Employing your first person

Use GEL 1,000 only as a scenario, then confirm the actual salary, funded-pension coverage, employer registration and any small-business or activity-specific tax treatment before hiring.

Editor's note

The registration evidence states that The Georgian LLC evidence is separate from the nominal wage figure and verifies the company, signature, registration-fee and timing framework without turning an unresolved owner or director question into a permission.

Incorporation does not settle VAT, small-business eligibility, licensing or pension coverage, so a foreign founder should confirm those issues with NAPR and the Tax Code before taking on a worker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is GEL 20 a practical hiring floor?

No. Matsne verifies GEL 20 as the official decree figure, but the assigned evidence treats it as nominal and notes a conflicting secondary description of Georgia's minimum-wage position. A founder should confirm the current labour rule and negotiate a market-appropriate salary instead of using GEL 20 for a budget.

What should a foreign founder confirm?

Confirm the NAPR registration route, founder and director evidence, signatures, activity licensing, tax status, VAT exposure and funded-pension coverage. The reviewed primary sources verify company and registration rules, but they do not expressly grant a blanket director-nationality or sole-foreign-owner permission for every activity.

Does incorporation settle VAT?

No. Incorporation and VAT are separate questions. The Tax Code record publishes an 18% VAT rate and GEL 100,000 threshold, but registration, exemptions, small-business status and activity rules still need to be checked with the current Revenue Service and NAPR material before the company invoices customers.
