Doing Business in Georgia’s Free Zones: Tax Advantages & Opportunities
Georgia is home to several Free Industrial Zones (FIZs) — specially designated areas designed to attract international investors by offering significant tax exemptions and simplified administrative procedures.
What Is a Free Zone?
A Free Industrial Zone (FIZ) in Georgia is a territory where businesses enjoy a favorable tax and regulatory environment. It’s particularly beneficial for companies engaged in manufacturing, export, logistics, and IT services.
Key Tax Benefits in Georgia’s Free Zones
- 0% Corporate Income Tax
- 0% VAT (on most transactions)
- 0% Dividend Tax
- No Import/Export Duties inside the FIZ
- Low Utility & Land Lease Costs
Available Free Zones in Georgia
- Poti FIZ – Ideal for logistics and manufacturing due to its location at the Black Sea port.
- Tbilisi FIZ – Located near the capital, well-suited for tech and light industry.
- Kutaisi FIZ – Strategic for industrial and electronics businesses.
Who Should Consider a Free Zone Company?
A Georgian Free Zone company is perfect for:
- Manufacturers exporting goods outside Georgia
- IT & software development companies serving global clients
- eCommerce businesses needing favorable tax structures
- Traders or logistics firms operating across borders
Can I Operate Internationally with a FIZ Company?
Yes. FIZ entities in Georgia can work globally. However, they are not permitted to do business directly within Georgia unless they register a separate legal entity outside the Free Zone.
Requirements to Register a Company in a Free Zone
- Power of Attorney (POA)
- Copy of your passport (legalized)
- Minimal documentation — setup can be done remotely
