STATE PROFILE / GA

Georgia

Georgia DOR continues to publish an application and certification process for its high-technology data-center equipment exemption under Rule 560-12-2-.117. HB 463's signed text has a caption referring to a data-center exemption repeal, but its operative Section 4-10 does not list paragraph 68.1 among the repealed provisions. This review does not infer a repeal from the caption.
