Georgia's tax math, planned with the account
Structure first

An IE with Georgia's Small Business status pays 1% on turnover up to GEL 500,000 a year, and a Georgian LLC pays 15% corporate tax only on profits it distributes. The account is the easy part — we make sure the entity behind it is the right one before anything is filed.

The honest map

  • The bank makes the final decision — no one can honestly guarantee approval
  • Package fees are paid to the bank on top of our fee, plus ₾2/month account service
  • Physical card delivery costs $0–$140 depending on card and country
  • A Georgian account doesn't make you a Georgian tax resident — or free you from home-country reporting
Why it clears our shortlist
  • The lowest monthly entry among Georgia's premium lines, at ₾30
  • The only one of our Georgian banks with a GBP account
  • US stock investing from $1 inside the banking app
  • Fully remote opening at one of the country's two systemic banks

FAQ

The questions that decide TBC Concept files

What do you charge? +

€899 one-off for a personal account and €1,299 for a business account — covering pre-screening, preparation, submission through our official partner channel and support until the account is live. The bank's own package fees are separate and paid directly to TBC Bank.

Do I need to travel to Georgia? +

No. TBC Concept opens 100% online, with a digital card from day one; the physical card is delivered to your address for $0–$140 depending on card and country.

Concept or Concept 360? +

Concept (₾30/month) covers everyday international banking with travel insurance; Concept 360 (₾50/month) adds lounges, a private banker and family pricing. Annual payment lowers both.

Who regulates the bank? +

TBC Bank is licensed and supervised by the National Bank of Georgia, and its parent, TBC Bank Group PLC, is listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Can I open a business account too? +

Yes — for a Georgian Individual Entrepreneur or a Georgian LLC, opened by notarised power of attorney without travelling. Our fee for the business account is €1,299 one-off; the bank's own business tariffs start from ₾5 a month.

Does the account make me a Georgian tax resident? +

No. Tax residency follows where you actually live (183+ days in Georgia) — not where you bank. Georgia taxes individuals territorially, but the account alone changes nothing about your home-country obligations; we plan that layer separately.
