Property-Related Taxes in Georgia

Georgia operates under a territorial tax system. Nonresidents are taxed on income sourced within Georgia, and married couples are taxed separately. However, families and married couples have the option to file joint property tax returns.

Nonresident individuals are taxed at a flat rate of 20% on all Georgian-sourced income. However, when leasing out residential property, the tax rate is reduced to 5% on the gross rent.
