Payroll in Georgia

Hiring in Georgia means the company withholds income tax from salaries and reports each month. The Tax Code sets personal income tax at 20% unless it provides otherwise, and a foreign owner who plans even one employee needs somebody to run the monthly cycle: contracts, payslips, withholding and filings. Some entities add rules of their own; an international company, for example, is taxed differently on hiring income, so the structure matters before the first salary is paid.

When comparing firms, ask whether payroll is done in-house or passed to another provider, how payslips reach you and in which language, and whether the firm also advises on employment contracts. Check whether the same team prepares the accounts, so that the salary costs agree with the ledgers.

Twenty-one firms in Georgia offer payroll: eight accounting firms, seven corporate service providers and six law firms. Eighteen are small and three belong to large networks. English is offered by all 21, with Georgian and Russian by 12 each. IT and real estate are named most often, and crypto businesses appear too. Pair this with accounting in Georgia; most payroll providers also keep the books.
