Georgia and Kyrgyzstan are increasing economic cooperation by signing an agreement on avoidance of double taxation.
The deal was signed today in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi and will prevent people or businesses working between the two countries from evading income and capital taxes.
Double taxation is the levying of tax by two or more jurisdictions on the same declared income (income taxes), assets (capital taxes), or financial transaction (sales taxes). This double liability is often mitigated by tax treaties between countries.
The main goal of signing the agreement was to increase economic cooperation between Georgia and Kyrgyzstan and attract more foreign investments, said Georgia’s Finance Ministry.
Currently Georgia has treaties with 52 countries to prevent double taxation.
Recently Georgia signed the same agreement with South Korea, Iceland and Belarus.
