Hello everyone,
I have a Georgian (Country) company which I want to get rid of. It was a virtual zone company and we paid taxes of 5%. We had a tax advisor we pay monthly for his services during our operations.
I don't want to have loose ends, even if I won't go to Georgia again in my life, I don't want a company I left behind there under my name.
To close the company, I applied for liquaditon with PoA due to Corona and around 2 months after I apply, I got a negative reply. Letter was mentioning something about the taxs but it wasn't really making sense and clear what they wanted from us.
So I asked my contact in Georgia, and he went to talk with Revenue Services. Around 4-5 weeks later he went there, he told me that we should pay 15% more tax (the difference between we paid and normal rates) because our virtual zone status is "really" virtual zone and services we provided was not out of Georgia. However, he did not provide any documents regarding this request so far.
I have doubts about this, I'm a bit sceptical about the request from RS, since I didn't get any kind of information before and this is just what person in Georgia telling me. I don't want to jump to conclusions but could this be a scam from my tax advisor? Or Georgian goverment being strict on us regarding this? I don't really understand since this was not a problem right until we wanted to liqudiate the company.
I'd appreciate your experiences or suggestions.
Thanks
