Businesses with sales tax nexus in Georgia may be required to register before collecting and remitting sales tax. Nexus can be established through a physical presence in the state or through economic activity.
For out-of-state businesses, Georgia's economic nexus threshold is generally triggered when a business has more than $100,000 in gross revenue from sales into Georgia or conducts 200 or more separate retail sales transactions into the state during the current or previous calendar year. Businesses that meet the applicable threshold may be required to register and comply with Georgia sales tax requirements.
Georgia has a statewide sales tax rate of 4%, with local sales and use taxes added by counties and municipalities. Depending on the location, the combined sales tax rate can reach approximately 8% to 9% or more.
