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 for state income tax, so as to exempt from state income tax income received as personal compensation for full-time duty in the active military service of the United States; 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 proposes to amend Georgia's state income tax laws to exempt income earned as personal compensation for full-time duty in the active military service of the United States from state income tax. This means that service members actively serving in the U.S. military will no longer have to pay state income tax on their regular pay and allowances. The change is set to take effect for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2027, providing a financial benefit to those serving the country.
