Jan 7, 2026 by AFP

ATLANTA, GA – Today, the Georgia Senate Special Committee on the Elimination of Georgia’s Income Tax held a special session in which a group of committee members recommended a gradual elimination of the state income tax. The proposal suggests eliminating income tax on the first $50,000 in income for individuals and $100,000 for joint filers starting in 2027, which covers two-thirds of Georgia taxpayers. The state income tax would then be phased out gradually for remaining taxpayers.

AFP-GA State Director Tony West released the following statement:

“We applaud this committee for putting forth a framework that will led to the elimination of the state tax income tax. This proposal will keep existing revenue triggers to ensure financial viability for Georgia and will eliminate approximately $3 billion worth of special interest tax breaks in favor of tax relief for all Georgians. Americans for Prosperity-Georgia supports any efforts to reduce the tax burden and improve the standard of living for Georgians.”
