Structuring and notarising a notarial deed — a loan, a gift or a lease — involves a fee calculated from the value of the transaction under the ten-tier scale approved by Government of Georgia Resolution No. 507, and that scale is the key economic argument of this page: proper drafting and certification are fully predictable in cost, whatever the complexity of the terms. Below we give every tier of the scale, the fee cap, the half-rate for unilateral deeds, and the tariffs of additional notarial acts that frequently accompany loans, gifts and leases.
The ten-tier fee scale based on the value of the transaction
Article 23(1) of the Rules approved by Government of Georgia Resolution No. 507 of 29 December 2011 (as amended by Resolution No. 272 of 30 May 2022) sets the following rates for certifying bilateral and multilateral transactions — each tier is stated separately so you can locate the exact position for your contract amount:
- up to 500 GEL — 3 % of the value;
- from 501 to 1000 GEL — 15 GEL + 2.5 % of the amount above 500 GEL;
- from 1001 to 2000 GEL — 27.5 GEL + 1.5 % of the amount above 1000 GEL;
- from 2001 to 3000 GEL — 42.5 GEL + 1 % of the amount above 2000 GEL;
- from 3001 to 5000 GEL — 52.5 GEL + 0.5 % of the amount above 3000 GEL;
- from 5001 to 20000 GEL — 62.5 GEL + 0.4 % of the amount above 5000 GEL;
- from 20001 to 100000 GEL — 122.5 GEL + 0.3 % of the amount above 20000 GEL;
- from 100001 to 500000 GEL — 362.5 GEL + 0.2 % of the amount above 100000 GEL;
- from 500001 to 1000000 GEL — 1162.5 GEL + 0.1 % of the amount above 500000 GEL;
- above 1000000 GEL — 1662.5 GEL + 0.05 % of the amount above 1000000 GEL.
Note how the scale works: the tier’s base amount is counted in full and only the excess carries the percentage. For example, for a transaction worth 50,000 GEL the scale gives 212.5 GEL (122.5 GEL + 0.3% of 30,000 GEL). A 5 GEL fee for registration in the electronic notarial register is added (Article 39), and a VAT-registered notary adds 18% VAT, because the tariff is set exclusive of VAT. We compute your fee in advance, so budgeting is exact from the start of drafting.
