Georgia Approves Historic Income Tax Cuts
The Georgia Senate has passed measures to lower both individual and corporate income tax rates, with reductions planned through 2025.
- The Georgia Senate approved House Bill 1015, lowering the individual income tax from 5.49% to 5.39%, with further annual reductions planned until it reaches 4.99%.
- House Bill 1023 matches the corporate income tax rate to the individual rate, aiming to decrease both to 4.99% over time.
- Governor Brian Kemp is expected to sign both bills into law, marking a significant tax reduction for both individuals and businesses.
- The tax cuts are part of a broader strategy to make Georgia more competitive, with comparisons drawn to neighboring states.
- Some provisions could delay the tax reductions, including if the state's revenue does not meet certain financial benchmarks.
