Georgia is becoming an increasingly attractive jurisdiction for foreign investors and organizations due to its stable political environment and transparency in doing business. Simplicity of procedures, absence of restrictions for foreign citizens have made NPO registration in Georgia popular among entrepreneurs from the CIS, EU, USA and other parts of the world. For many foreign citizens, registration of non-profit organizations (NPOs) in Georgia is an attractive opportunity to participate in the development of social projects, as well as an effective way to integrate into the local economic environment. This can be especially useful for those planning to carry out activities in the socio-cultural or educational fields.

Legal requirements

The process of registering an NPO in Georgia requires compliance with a number of conditions set by the government of the country. These requirements are designed to ensure that all NPOs operate transparently and in accordance with local laws.

To register an NPO, it is necessary to:

Prepare constituent documents, which include the charter and partner agreements. The charter must clearly define the goals and objectives of the organization, as well as the management procedure and distribution of functions between the founders.
Have an official address, which can be either an office or a home address of one of the founders, while all addresses must comply with Georgian laws and be suitable for use as legal entities.
Ensure the availability of financial resources necessary for the initial activities of the organization, with a minimum amount of authorized capital at the discretion of the founders.
Check the founders for compliance with local and international requirements. All founders must have a legal status and have no restrictions on running an NPO in Georgia.

The registration process takes about a week on average, but can be expedited for an additional fee. The specified time frame may vary depending on the preparation of documents and other aspects of a particular case.

Taxation of NGOs in Georgia

Taxation of non-profit organizations makes Georgia one of the most attractive countries for foreign organizations. NGOs are exempt from paying income taxes, provided that their activities are not aimed at obtaining commercial benefits. However, the following aspects of taxation remain relevant:

Annual tax reporting. NGOs are required to submit annual financial reports, even if there are no taxable transactions.
Accounting. NGOs must maintain full and transparent records of all income and expenses. This includes regular updating of data and reporting in accordance with established standards.
There are tax incentives for NGOs engaged in charity and cultural activities, which makes such projects less expensive.

External financial support: funds received from foreign sponsors must be documented and used strictly in accordance with the stated purposes.

Required documents

Before registering an NPO, you need to collect and prepare a package of documents, including:

Application for registration, completed by the responsible representative.
Memorandum of Association and Charter.
Documents certifying the identity of the founders and directors.
Documents confirming the property status of the organization (for example, asset valuation or bank statements).
Documents confirming the legal address.

If you are unable to prepare these documents yourself, a consultation with a lawyer can be of great help. Professionals provide assistance in preparing and checking all documents, which minimizes the risk of registration refusal.

Registration stages

Choosing a name. Enter the name of the future organization. It must be unique and comply with the requirements of Georgian legislation. You can search for a name in the public register of registered organizations.

Submission of an application. The application and a package of documents are submitted to the registration authority – the State Registry Agency. You can submit documents in person or through a representative with a power of attorney.
