Notably, these tax measures garnered bipartisan support. Georgia lawmakers face an election in November in which all 236 state House and Senate seats are up for grabs.In addition to income tax cuts. Georgians can expect an increased tax exemption for dependent care and, depending on voters in the November state election, a state cap on property taxes. Here is more of what you need to know.<\/p>\n

Georgia income tax rate 2024<\/h2>\n

Georgia\u2019s income tax landscape has already undergone recent changes. At the start of the year, Georgia transitioned to a flat tax rate of 5.49%, down from a tiered system that peaked at 5.75%.\u00a0An acceleration in the newly signed legislation reduces the state income tax rate to 5.39% as of Jan. 1, \u00a02024, a decrease from the previously scheduled 5.49%. The income tax cut could reportedly save Georgia taxpayers an additional $360 million.\u00a0However, Georgia lawmakers went beyond income tax cuts. The new tax package also addresses corporate tax rates, aligning them with the decreasing personal income tax rate until both eventually reach 4.99%.\u00a0The corporate tax measure is projected to cost $176 million initially and $210 million by 2029.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Georgia dependent allowances<\/h2>\n

Gov. Kemp also signed HB 1021 into law, a bill increasing the Georgia state tax deductions for dependents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The measure increases the state’s dependent tax exemption by 33%.<\/li>\n
  • Each eligible Georgia taxpayer can deduct $4,000 per dependent rather than the previous $3,000.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Note: Georgia currently offers a dependent exemption for unborn children. As Kiplinger has reported, taxpayers cannot claim a fetus as a dependent for federal income tax purposes. However, if you are a Georgia resident, your fetus qualifies as a dependent for state tax purposes as of July 20, 2022.<\/p>\n

    Georgia property tax rate<\/h2>\n

    In November, Georgians can vote on a constitutional amendment to capping property tax increases. HB 581 enables counties to provide property tax relief through a homestead valuation freeze.If approved, this amendment would limit annual increases in property value assessments in Georgia to the inflation rate, offering homeowners protection against skyrocketing property taxes fueled partly by rising home values.Also, though not related to property tax, SB 496 is included in the package. It expands the criteria for historic home certification and extends tax credits for rehabilitation projects. The measure is designed to help preserve Georgia’s architectural heritage and support economic activity in the state.<\/p>\n
