Fair Taxation Bill To Be Introduced in Georgia General Assembly
The legislation is designed to replace the state income tax.
State Representative Tom Kirby (R-Loganville) announced Wednesday (March 27) that he will introduce the Georgia Fair Taxation Act of 2014 on Thursday, March 28. This legislation would move Georgia to a “fair taxation” system by eliminating the state income tax completely.
“By removing the income tax, we can increase the number of tax payers and reduce the amount everyone pays,” said Kirby. “The public is ready for serious tax reform and bold solutions to solve our economic problems.”
The Georgia Fair Taxation Act, if approved by the General Assembly, would prohibit the state of Georgia from collecting income taxes or requiring income tax returns. The bill would also raise the consumption tax in the state.
