Important Notes On International IT Companies
Additional Tax Incentives
If acting properly, International IT company can decrease the profit base, from where the profit tax of 5% is calculated.
Spending on:
- Salaries paid to Georgian citizens
and - Expenses for research, design, and development work carried out in Georgia
Can be excluded from taxable profit base.
For example if company has a profit 100 000 USD, but it pays 15 000 USD for Georgian employee salaries and 10 000 USD for research and development in Georgia, those expenses will be excluded from 100 000 USD. So, company will pay corporate profit tax from 75 000 USD (instead of 100 000 USD).
