Doing Business in Georgia’s Free Zones: Tax Advantages & Opportunities

14 Sep 2025

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
