AN ACT To amend Article 2 of Chapter 7 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to the imposition, rate, computation, exemptions, and credits relative to income taxes, so as to reduce the rate of the tax; to provide for related matters; to provide for an effective date and applicability; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Georgia's income tax law to reduce the state's individual income tax rate. Specifically, it changes the tax rate from 5.19% to 4.99% for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The bill also removes provisions that would have allowed for annual 0.10% reductions in the tax rate starting in 2026, and any conditions that could have delayed those reductions, such as revenue estimates or the balance in a state reserve fund. The changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and will apply to income earned from January 1, 2026, onwards.
