Last Updated on 29 May 2013
As you all know, one of the successes of the recently adjourned Georgia legislative session was moving the Sales Tax Holiday from August 9th and 10th to August 2nd and 3rd. This was done in an attempt to better coordinate with the school calendar for most of the state. Typically in Georgia there are many "revenue bills" - or pieces of legislation opening the tax code - introduced at the beginning of the session. Often the smaller bills are folded into the larger bills during the committee process and only one or two will receive final passage.
A press release referencing Revenue Collections for the month of April 2013, was issued by the Governor’s Press Office.
