Bookkeeping and tax accounting in Georgia
Monthly bookkeeping for a Georgian sole trader or company: tax returns, dealing with the tax authority and payroll records. Handled remotely.
- Sole traders
- small companies
- IT firms
Since 2021 every company in Georgia must file financial statements — that is covered by the monthly and annual service. By law the requirement applies to legal entities (LLCs and the like); a sole trader with small-business status is formally exempt.
The annual tax return for sole traders and individuals
The annual return is filed in the rs.ge personal account. It's part of the service rather than a separate product: it can't be computed apart from the year's bookkeeping, because the figures come from the entries already posted.
A nil return for a sole trader on small business status costs from $30. Full reporting with VAT is from $170 a month, and the annual return is already inside it.
- We reconcile bank turnover against what's posted — discrepancies surface precisely on the annual return
- We compute the tax for your regime: 1% on small business status, 20% income tax otherwise
- We file the return and hand over the confirmation from rs.ge
Restoring the books for past periods is separate work: if a year was never kept, there's nothing to build a return from. It's its own service in the catalogue.
