On April 18, 2023, significant amendments to the Tax Code of Georgia were officially published. These changes introduce several important adjustments that businesses operating in Georgia should be aware of. FCHAIN Corporation, a global consulting firm with a presence in Georgia and expertise in finance and legal matters, is here to guide businesses through these crucial tax updates.
One notable amendment pertains to the taxation of multiple individuals. Under the revised Tax Code, several individuals will be treated as a single taxable entity if they are operating or managing their activities under the control of the same person and if their activities share common content. This change aims to enhance tax regulation and ensure that entities operating similarly are subject to consistent tax treatment.
Another significant change affects the excise tax rate on e-cigarette liquids. The excise tax rate for 1 milliliter of e-cigarette liquid has been increased from GEL 0.2, signifying a shift in tax policy for products in this category. Businesses involved in the production and sale of e-cigarette liquids should adjust their pricing and tax calculations accordingly to remain compliant with the new rate.
Additionally, the amendments introduce a fine of GEL 200 per employee for entities that fail to submit records of their hired personnel. This measure emphasizes the importance of accurate and transparent reporting regarding an organization’s workforce. Companies operating in Georgia should take note of this requirement and ensure that they maintain up-to-date employee records to avoid potential fines.
It’s crucial for businesses to be proactive in understanding and adapting to these tax changes. These amendments will be gradually phased in and will become fully effective from January 1. Therefore, companies operating in Georgia should assess their tax compliance procedures, update their accounting practices, and make any necessary changes to align with the revised Tax Code.
