Georgia State and Local Tax Alert – Filing and Paying Taxes Easier and Georgia’s New Vehicle Registration and Titling System
- Let’s face it: Filing and paying taxes is a necessary chore. The state of Georgia has made completing the job easier via the Georgia Tax Center. This online information resource allows Georgia residents to file and pay a variety of taxes and fees, including sales and use tax, withholding income tax, and alcohol and tobacco licensing fees. In addition, taxpayers can access the site to register a new business, request refunds and view account balances. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/2PoStdr
- To modernize the state’s vehicle registration and titling system, the Georgia Dept. of Revenue is launching the Georgia Driver Record and Integrated Vehicle Enterprise System (DRIVES) at the end of May. In preparation for DRIVES, all online motor vehicle-related services, including online tag renewal services, will be offline 5/21/19 through 5/27/19. In addition, beginning 5/24/19, the Motor Vehicle Division will be unable to process transactions such as International Fuel Tax Agreements and International Registration Plans.
