Sector-specific taxation is addressed in the Tax Code of Georgia, including the application of the \u201cEstonian\u201d CIT model, taxation on gross gaming revenue (GGR), and withholding obligations for player winnings. The tax code also introduces incentives for online operators serving foreign players.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the Law on Gambling Business Fees sets out annual and quarterly permit and operational fees by location and product type. Additionally, casinos and gambling operators are classified as obliged entities under Georgia\u2019s anti-money laundering (AML) framework. Thus, they have to comply with the Georgian AML regulations, principally the Law on Facilitating the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"question-block filter-container__element\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"filter-container__match-html\">Which body\/ies regulate gambling?<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<button id=\"show-me\">+<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"question_answer filter-container__match-html\" style=\"display:none;\"><p>Gambling activities in Georgia are primarily regulated by the Revenue Service of Georgia, which issues permits, supervises them, and enforces compliance with operational and financial obligations.

At the general level, the country applies an 18% value added tax (VAT), a 20% personal income tax (PIT), and a 15% corporate income tax (CIT). The CIT follows the so-called \u201cEstonian model\u201d, meaning that profits are not taxed until they are distributed or otherwise expended through specified outflows.<\/p>\n<p>For land-based casinos, the annual permit fee ranges from GEL 100,000 to GEL 5,000,000 depending on the location, while quarterly fees apply at GEL 20,000\u201340,000 per casino table and GEL 4,000\u201314,000 per club table.<\/p>\n<p>Land-based slot salons are taxed differently. Organizers are subject to a 15% levy on GGR, with Georgian players\u2019 withdrawals taxed at 5% PIT, while withdrawals by foreign players are exempt. The fee regime combines an annual permit ranging from GEL 50,000 to GEL 1,000,000 per location with a quarterly charge of GEL 2,000\u20134,000 per machine. Land-based sportsbooks enjoy a further distinction: income from sportsbook activity is exempt from corporate income tax altogether. Instead, the regime is based on fixed fees, with annual permits between GEL 30,000 and GEL 300,000 and quarterly fees of GEL 250,000\u2013300,000 depending on the facility\u2019s location.<\/p>\n<p>Significant reforms effective from 1 December 2024 has introduced new rules for online gambling. Online slot salons and online casinos are taxed at 15% on GGR derived from Georgian players and 5% on GGR from foreign players. Georgian player withdrawals are subject to a 5% PIT withholding, while withdrawals by foreign players remain exempt. Fees are substantial, with online slot salons requiring an annual permit of GEL 1,000,000 and online casinos GEL 5,000,000. However, if an online casino is operated in conjunction with a land-based casino, the annual fee is reduced to GEL 100,000 under a combined permit regime. In both cases, quarterly fees fall within the range of GEL 250,000\u2013300,000.<\/p>\n<p>The taxation of online sportsbooks, which also became effective from December 2024 and requires the operator to hold a land-based sportsbook permit, diverges slightly. Organizers are generally taxed at 7% of turnover (i.e., on total bets), but where the platform targets foreign players, the organizer may instead pay 5% of GGR. Georgian player withdrawals may attract the standard 5% PIT, while foreign players remain exempt. The fee structure includes an additional GEL 100,000 annual permit for online activity, alongside the existing land-based sportsbook permit, as well as quarterly fees of GEL 250,000\u2013300,000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"question-block filter-container__element\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"filter-container__match-html\">Are there any proposals for changing gambling laws and regulations in the next 12-24 months?

The reform introduced distinct licensing, tax, and fee regimes for online slot salons, online casinos, and online sportsbooks, thereby aligning the online sector with the long-established regulation of land-based gambling.<\/p>\n<p>This reform marks the first time Georgia has introduced a fully developed regulatory framework for online gambling, creating a dual-track system that applies consistent controls across both online and offline markets.

While this ensures responsible marketing and protects consumers, operators can still promote their services effectively within the permitted framework.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the market presents strong growth potential with regulatory certainty and opportunities for both domestic and international operators.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"question-block filter-container__element\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"filter-container__match-html\">If a gambling start-up was looking for a jurisdiction in which to commence its activities, why would it choose yours?<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<button id=\"show-me\">+<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"question_answer filter-container__match-html\" style=\"display:none;\"><p>Georgia offers a number of compelling advantages as a jurisdiction for gambling operators, combining a modernized legal framework with strategic geographic positioning. Georgian dual-track approach ensures that both land-based and online operators are subject to consistent oversight, while maintaining differentiated tax and fee structures to reflect the characteristics of each activity.<\/p>\n<p>From a fiscal perspective, Georgia\u2019s taxation model is internationally competitive. The Estonian-style corporate income tax allows profits to be reinvested tax-free until distributed, while sector-specific taxes, such as the 5% GGR rate for foreign online play, make the jurisdiction attractive for operators targeting international markets. The structure therefore encourages both reinvestment and cross-border growth, positioning Georgia as a regional hub for online gambling.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia also benefits from its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, making it an accessible market for both regional players and international operators seeking to expand into new territories. Its relatively advanced digital infrastructure, coupled with a young and tech-savvy population, further enhances the attractiveness of the online segment.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, Georgia combines a transparent and modern regulatory framework, competitive tax treatment, geographic advantages, and a supportive business environment, making it an increasingly attractive jurisdiction for new gambling ventures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n<div class=\"word-count-hidden\" style=\"display:none;\">Estimated word count: <span class=\"word-count\">2503<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/ol>\r\n\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/twentyseventeen\/src\/jquery\/components\/filter-guides.js\" async><\/script><\/div>"}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/my.legal500.com\/guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comparative_guide\/116826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/my.legal500.com\/guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comparative_guide"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/my.legal500.com\/guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/comparative_guide"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/my.legal500.com\/guides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
