Georgia state senators passed four bills reducing the state income tax Thursday, rapidly advancing the legislative package to the House.
Late last week, senators introduced two bills to advance the first part of a plan to eventually eliminate the state personal income tax by 2032, as recommended by a special Senate committee appointed by Republican Lt. Gov. Burt Jones last summer.
“I am proud to deliver on my promise to put money back in the pockets of Georgia’s families and our state economy,” Jones said in a press release after Thursday’s votes. “The Senate is leading the effort to continue making significant cuts to our income taxes, while maintaining the fiscal soundness of our state. I look forward to working with the House and Governor on how to maximize tax relief and get an income tax cut over the finish line immediately.”
