Georgia voters can approve changes to tax appeal process in General Election
The Metro Atlanta Chamber (MAC) advocates for a pro-business tax climate, working to ensure that Georgia remains the top state for business. During the 2024 legislative session, MAC successfully led the effort to advocate for the passage of legislation amending Georgia’s Constitution to transform the Georgia Tax Tribunal into a court to resolve tax disputes more quickly and fairly. This constitutional amendment will appear on the ballot for Georgia voters to consider in November.
“Replacing the Georgia Tax Tribunal with the Georgia Tax Court will provide Georgians with the operational clarity and certainty they need when resolving disputes with the Georgia Department of Revenue,” said Katie Kirkpatrick, president & CEO of the Metro Atlanta Chamber. “It will help Georgians resolve important business cases faster, simplify government, and save taxpayers time and money.”
If approved by voters during the November 2024 General Election, the Georgia Tax Court will streamline the tax appeal process for taxpayers across the state by no longer requiring cases to first go through the Fulton County Superior Court. Instead, a taxpayer would appeal a Georgia Tax Court decision directly to the Georgia Court of Appeals.
MAC remains committed to creating a more efficient and equitable tax system for all Georgia taxpayers. This update streamlines Georgia’s tax appeal process by making it more accessible and fairer for businesses and individuals. The Chamber encourages voters to support Constitutional Amendment #2 during the 2024 General Election in November to ensure Georgia remains a leading state for economic growth and business success.
