An international fintech startup sought an additional operational jurisdiction with minimal tax burden to support an aggressive expansion strategy while maintaining regulatory compliance and transparency for stakeholders.
We developed and implemented a comprehensive corporate structuring strategy, integrating a Georgian legal entity into the group’s international architecture and obtaining Virtual Zone status. This provided exceptional tax benefits: 0% corporate tax (vs. standard 15%) on foreign-sourced income, 0% VAT (vs. standard 18%) with optional VAT registration for input VAT recovery, and only 5% dividend tax upon distribution. We also developed supporting documentation and agreements for seamless operation within the group structure and Asian market penetration.
The client created a highly tax-efficient operational hub with significant cost advantages and regulatory transparency. The optimized structure provided a solid foundation for international scaling while maintaining full compliance and stakeholder confidence across all target jurisdictions.
