Georgia Senate passes tax cuts targeting lower rates and exempting income up to $50K, advancing to House.
Georgia’s Senate has passed SB 476 and SB 477, which would reduce the state income tax rate from 5.19% to 4.99% and eliminate taxes on the first $50,000 of income for individuals and $100,000 for couples, advancing the bills to the House.
The measures, backed by Republicans, aim to phase out the income tax over time, with supporters citing benefits for middle- and lower-income earners and economic growth.
Critics warn of potential $9 billion in revenue losses, possible service cuts, and higher sales taxes, arguing the plan disproportionately benefits wealthier residents.
The Senate also approved a backup plan with a slower rate reduction.
The bills now face House consideration, with debate expected over fiscal impact and long-term effects on public services.
