Abstract

Leasing companies face a variety of objections when returning a lease item, which is also supported by the Court's diverse approach. When the main activity of a company is leasing property, their return is also part of the daily routine. In each case, assuming that the item was in the best condition, the calculation of the state duty would increase the company’s expenses and threaten commercial activities. Writing the article was driven by the author's practical experiment, according to which, in spite of the market value of the lease item, a new judicial approach has been established when defining 60 GEL of state duty  on its return in all cases and the leasing company has significantly saved finances. The purpose of this paper is to determine the value of the subject of dispute, the court, the state duty when returning the lease item, also facilitate the development of a unified approach on the basis of analyzing the practical difficulties and to inform the reader of the possible obstacles associated with the return of the lease item.
