Local tax & compliance

What Atlanta businesses should know about Georgia taxes

S

State income tax

Georgia taxes personal income, so owners of pass-through businesses (sole proprietors, LLCs, and S corporations) need clean, reconciled year-end books for their state return.

%

Sales tax

Georgia's statewide base sales tax rate is 4%. Local taxes are often added on top, so the rate you charge depends on where your sales happen. We track sales tax collected separately from revenue so filing is simple.

!

Taxes to watch in Georgia

Local sales taxes push combined rates well above the 4% state rate in most Georgia counties.

F

Where you file

Most Georgia business filings go to the Georgia Department of Revenue. We keep your books organized so these returns are a simple handoff to you or your CPA.

General information as of 2026, not tax advice. Rates and rules change, so confirm current requirements with the Georgia Department of Revenue or your tax advisor.
