Pricing and services

This page lists every service with its price — not a selection, and not “from” figures without context. It is generated from the same price register the order forms on the service pages calculate with: a number that appears here and not there is technically impossible. What this page adds is the less comfortable half — it shows the costs that do not go to us in the same place as our own.

How we bill

Three rules, which explain how the tables below are built.

First: fixed fees, not hourly rates. You know the number before you instruct us. Where a fixed fee is not honestly possible, the entry reads “on request” — that covers positions whose effort depends on things we cannot know in advance: headcount, registration status, structural depth.

Second: euro for the set-up, lari for the running. The split is not a convenience; it follows the client. Formation, banking, relocation and opinions are commissioned by you from abroad — they are invoiced in euro. The ongoing support is commissioned by the Georgian company that then exists; it is invoiced in lari, because that is the currency the work is performed and declared in. For every lari position the lari amount governs, not a euro approximation.

Third: VAT follows the place of supply. Where the recipient is established abroad, Article 162¹ of the Georgian Tax Code puts the place of supply outside Georgia; such supplies are not exempt, they fall outside the scope of Georgian VAT. Where the recipient is the Georgian company, the place of supply is Georgia and 18% is added (Article 166). That is why the euro blocks below carry the note “no Georgian VAT” and the lari blocks “plus 18%”.

Costs that do not go to us

The most common reason a budget diverges from the plan is not our fees but the third-party costs. So they belong here, not in the small print.

• Notary and apostille in your home country Falls away if you add the online notary. The amount follows your country schedule of fees.
• Sworn translations Only where the authority requires them in the individual case. Translation into Georgian we coordinate locally.
• Bank-side charges Account maintenance, card, international transfers and a possible minimum deposit depending on the bank. The bank discloses these to you in writing before opening.
• State fee for a binding ruling Only for the advance ruling, and not small: four to five figures in lari, depending on whether you were tax resident in Georgia in the preceding year. It rises on 1 January 2027. We tell you the applicable amount in writing before you commit.
• Your adviser in the country you are leaving We do not advise on the tax law of your home country. Those costs arise on top and belong in any honest calculation.
• Government fees in Georgia The Public Service Hall fee and the work permit government fee are already inside our package prices.

FAQ

Why are some prices in euro and others in lari?

Because two different clients sit behind them. The set-up work — formation, banking, relocation, opinions — is commissioned by you as a private individual or by your foreign company, that is, from abroad; it is invoiced in euro. The ongoing support is commissioned by the Georgian company or the registered individual entrepreneur we set up for you; it is invoiced in lari, because that is the currency the work is performed and declared in. For all lari positions the lari amount governs, not a euro approximation.

Is VAT added to these prices?

For the euro positions, as a rule no. The recipient of the service is established abroad, so under Article 162¹ of the Georgian Tax Code the place of supply is outside Georgia — such supplies are not exempt, they fall outside the scope of Georgian VAT altogether. For the lari positions Georgian VAT is added, currently 18% under Article 166: there the recipient is the Georgian company and the place of supply is Georgia. None of this affects your own VAT position at home — that is a question for your adviser there.

Are government fees included?

In the formation packages, yes: the Public Service Hall fee sits inside the package price so that the configurator total is the final total. The same applies to the work permit, whose government fee is included in the position price. Not included are costs arising in your home country (notary, apostille, sworn translations), bank-side charges, and the state fee for a binding ruling. Those items are listed individually below.

Why do you not work with hourly rates?

Because an hourly rate offloads the risk of estimating effort onto the client and pays us for being slow. With a fixed fee you know the number before you instruct us, and the incentive sits on the right side. Where we cannot quote a fixed fee, the entry reads "on request" — that covers positions whose effort depends on things we cannot know in advance (headcount, registration status, structural depth), not positions where we would rather keep our options open.

How binding is this list?

The amounts are our prices as at the date shown, and they are generated from the same register the order forms on the service pages calculate with — a divergent figure elsewhere on this website is therefore impossible. A price becomes binding in the legal sense with our offer or your order confirmation. Third-party costs we can of course only state as an order of magnitude; they are invoiced by the third party concerned.

Are there discounts for combining services?

For one combination we see often, yes: if the bank account is commissioned together with the company formation, the banking fee drops to €400 instead of the full price. It is not self-service bookable — please note it in the message field of your order so we can apply it. The fee for a written tax opinion is credited in full against a subsequent mandate.

As at: August 2026. All amounts are net fees of BAUER GROUP Georgia. This overview is neither an offer nor tax or legal advice; a price becomes binding with our offer or your order confirmation. Third-party costs are invoiced by the third party concerned and can change without our involvement. The provisions of the Georgian Tax Code referred to (Art. 162¹ place of supply, Art. 166 rate) concern our own invoicing and are not a statement about your tax position.
