Selling Property in Georgia

A private residential sale, an investment transaction and a business or developer sale can have different tax characterisation. The current Passport keeps those layers separate.

Scope

Use the Passport for the current rule

A private residential sale, an investment transaction and a business or developer sale can have different tax characterisation. The current Passport keeps those layers separate.

OwnASea separates national law, tax administration, registry procedure, bank products and market evidence. Conditional or under-review facts are never reduced to a simple yes/no answer.

Key points

What to remember

  • Use the Georgia Country Passport as the source of truth for current structured values.
  • Do not treat an under-review value as a verified national rule.
  • Do not generalise non-agricultural ownership to agricultural land.
  • Property ownership, residence, tax residence and citizenship are separate legal questions.
  • Verify the specific transaction with the relevant Georgian authority and qualified professional.
