Strengthening Tax Administration: The Impact of Georgia’s Large Taxpayer Office on Revenue and Compliance

  • The IMF paper analyzes the impact of Georgia’s Large Taxpayer Office (LTO), established in 2021, on tax compliance and revenue.
  • Assigning taxpayers to the LTO increased annual tax assessments by 0.4% to 0.7% of GDP, mainly from VAT and withholding taxes.
  • The LTO improved compliance through targeted enforcement and better taxpayer services, with fewer but more selective audits.
  • The greatest revenue gains were in sectors with strong third-party reporting and easily traceable transactions.
  • Enhanced oversight of large taxpayers leads to significant and lasting fiscal gains.
