Crypto company in Georgia: regulation

Crypto-currencies have had huge impact on country’s economy as a whole. This was the reason that Minister of Finance approved normative act regarding provisions for taxing crypto-actives. Main points of this project are as follows:

  • individuals who are engaged in such activities don’t pay income taxes, regardless of profit resource, if it was obtained from operations for crypto-assets trade;
  • crypto-currency sales or their exchanges aren’t subject to VAT;
  • hash sales outside jurisdiction aren’t subject to VAT. Nevertheless, individuals and businesses hold input VAT rights;
  • VAT covers hash trade within jurisdiction;
  • if country residents purchase hash in another state, VAT is applied as part of such a transaction.

National Bank doesn’t regard crypto-currency as a means for making payments. The regulator warns entrepreneurs and users of financial services in every possible way that cryptoassets must be handled with extreme caution. Thus, the answer to whether bitcoin in Georgia has official background is twofold.

Purchase and trade of cryptocoins is not prohibited, however, and is not allowed at the official level. It is impossible to use crypto-currency for payments inside the state. Nevertheless, there have been several cases of real estate purchases for cryptoassets. So, company in Georgia for sale may be considered as profitable way to start commercial development.

  • tax benefits;
  • data on cash circulation is closed – organizations or individuals do not possess access to it.
