Hi all does anyone know if I can take advantage of the 1% self employed tax scheme while using a US LLC?

gustawdaniel 1mo

Today at 9 PM we can go to Cafe La Mano.

Tomorrow at 6 pm I will be on English speakers meetup (with language games in hacker space 🚀). So if someone is interested in just meeting new friends, this is a great opportunity.

Thursday evening we can go to Matasminda Amusement Park 🎢 for example at 6 PM.

Sunday at 1pm-3pm I will have a presentation showing how to build a language model like chat gpt from scratch, then networking during dinner 🍽️.

So those are options for meeting this weekend that I can propose. Anyone is invited, so let me know which seems most interesting for you.

gustawdaniel 1mo

cuqppnki you can ask an "expat hub" on their first free consultation, but I am afraid that it can be problematic because I couldn't find any "double taxation agreement" between these two countries. Maybe if ownership of US and Georgian companies would be split it would be easier from a tax point of view.

gustawdaniel 1mo

You can find these agreements for other countries here: mof.ge/en/5128

dashaa 1mo

I am in for something, not sure what exactly though 😆

jermane 1mo

I'm game but don't arrive in Tbilisi until Thursday afternoon and I have a podcast guest appearance that night until 8:00 p.m. but after that I'm free to mingle.

jermane 1mo

Does anyone know of a good gym that is within walking distance in the Vera neighborhood?

alexrod94 1mo

I’m still not in Tbilisi, will get there in a couple of weeks!

alexrod94 1mo

But thanks for the invite 🤟🏻

gustawdaniel 1mo

pbmtrsyzup there is

https://maps.app.goo.gl/wcmwLivRrDoffFyc6 (more Vake than Vera - good equipped, regular prices)

And over Opera

https://maps.app.goo.gl/NkDFiUNqBafahvANA (one of most expensive but have great location in center of Vera)

I was in both and both are well maintained.

In Georgia you can also find Aspria gyms network that have best quality/price ratio but unfortunately in Tbilisi they are located in long distance from center.

jermane 1mo

Thanks for recommendations 🙏

sakispal 1mo

Thank you, that’s not the issue it’s more whether working an LLC from Georgia creates a permanent and establishment and then taxed differently so I was going someone else here already has that setup

jmibl 1mo

Also Tsre https://maps.app.goo.gl/wscSTXDxwRwsv3DE6 - from memory it was fine, but a bit low ceiling on running machines area.

eyobest 1mo

Hey fellow nomads, arriving to Tbilisi on Thursday. Staying close to Fabrika. Any suggestions for coworking place and Gym near Fabrika?

mikeop 1mo

Hey everyone, we’ve booked flights to Kutaisi and planning to also travel to Tbisili, just reading about protests, are they still ongoing? Are they a problem?

boris_k 1mo

Just some small gatherings near the parliament building in the evening, but that's about it. Nothing to worry about.

boris_k 1mo

Even when large protests occur in Tbilisi, it's usually not a problem for tourists.

gustawdaniel 1mo

xrsighjt Just avoid participating in protests and refrain from posting political statements online. As long as your presence here doesn’t attract the attention of intelligence agencies, you’re actually safer than in most European countries.

gustawdaniel 1mo

Protests here are rare and insignificant.

gustawdaniel 1mo

Because of yxeju and oxcbewuue arrived in Thursday I finally proposing meetup at Friday.

eyobest 29d

What’s the best Georgian food restaurant y’all recommend in Tbilisi?

voskovek 29d

I love Shavi Lomi, delicious food and delightful atmosphere, sometimes there’s cool cats inside hanging out, and they have a lovely garden to sit outside

sawsan 16d

Hi everyone! I will be moving to tbilisi soon and will be working remotely as a UI/UX designer! Super excited! 😎

Looking forwards to meet other nomads and also potentially connecting with people in the tech industry to exchange learnings and collaborate

farmlancer 15d

anyone used carsharing service in TBS? wonder how is experience

dhawaljoshi1607 15d

Planning to spend some time in Tbilisi and Svaneti..please suggest good and budget Airbnb

bobbyk0312 15d

Bolt is used there and it works great

farmlancer 15d

meant more of a self service, as taxi Bolt is great indeed!

jermane 13d

I will be next week

jmibl 10d

There's some resolution from the European Parliament that could result in Georgia being cut off from Swift (inter bank payment system). I don't know the details, and it feels unlikely to me it actually happens, but if you have lots of cash in a local account, might be worth reviewing.

boris_k 10d

Absolutely not going to happen 😉 Zero reason to worry.

boris_k 10d

There is some concerning news regarding work permits though (apparently, they will be required for anybody who works in Georgia, including individual entrepreneurs, starting March 1st). Whether it concerns entrepreneurs whose income is 100% sourced outside of Georgia is still an open question (the wording in the law is ambiguous in that regard).

Still, quite possible that work permits and residence permits will be required for everybody who lives/works in Georgia. And the abolition of the 365-day visa-free regime is likely to follow next.

Sadly, Georgia is adopting the EU-like bureaucracy just as I feared for the last few years. 🥲

farmlancer 10d

let's hope you suck at predictions 🤞😄

boris_k 10d

I hope so too 😁 I do have a residence permit myself, but it looks like they also want to force everybody with a residence permit to stay for 183/365 days in the country, or they cancel it 🥲 So it's kind of a big dilemma: either settle and stay for good or leave completely 🥲

farmlancer 10d

ah, like make mandatory to stay at least 183 days? well, with the summer like now, it's going to be difficult 😅 feels like an oven

farmlancer 10d

unless you are by the mountains, must be perfect there

boris_k 10d

Yeah, 183 per calendar year or something like that. This is also what makes me think they're going to abolish the 365 visa-free regime. Feels like they want to make a clear distinction here: either you're a resident and live here with all the permits, or a tourist who stays up to 90 or maybe 180 days.

boris_k 10d

Anyway, knowing how things usually work in Georgia, I think there's like a 90% probability they're going to postpone it 😁

plakkies 10d

Thanks for the heads up!

They also released a new residence permit for IT people.

It requires 6 months presence.

plakkies 10d

The 12 months visa free program is a huge economic driver.
And most expats and medical students I have met do border bouncing etc.

If they go to hard to fast without any alternatives for the established here it will hurt local businesses and the many landlords farming forex from us 🙃

jmibl 10d

They recently changed the rules for getting a drivers licence to requiring you had been here 183 days in last year (or something like that). So they are starting in this direction.

catalin 7d

but still possible or not at all?

jmibl 7d

The rule change is https://www.matsne.gov.ge/ka/document/view/6507177?publication=0

If you're looking at getting one, peer pressure me into actually doing it

boris_k 13h

How about another Tbilisi meetup at Republic 24, let's say, on Tuesday? Let me know in response or via emoji.
