Georgia is a pro-business state. An aggressive incentives program, favorable tax rates, favorable conditions for employers, and programs to accelerate the permitting and development process make Georgia the right place to start and grow a business. Georgia’s current corporate income tax is 6 percent, ranking it the lowest in the nation. Georgia’s corporate income tax is based on a single-factor apportionment, weighted solely on sales receipts in Georgia. Statutory Incentives Advanced manufacturing companies in Georgia are often eligible for a variety of tax credits and sales tax exemptions. The state’s job tax credit program grants credits for job creation that may be applied against the state’s corporate income tax. Other tax credits include those tied to capital investment, employee training and child care. See the listing to the right for major tax credit programs and major tax exemptions in Georgia. For detailed information on tax exemptions, credits and other state incentives, please visit the Publications page of SelectGeorgia.com. Right-to-Work State Georgia is a right-to-work state. Georgia has maintained this status since 1947. Fewer than half of the states in the U.S. grant workers right-to-work protection. Employment-at-Will State Georgia has no employment laws which are more stringent or restrictive than those at the federal level. Georgia is an employment-at-will state. In the absence of a written contract and in compliance with federal employment laws, employers in Georgia are able to exercise their own hiring and dismissal decisions; state laws make no provisions for wrongful discharge. Rapid Permitting One-Stop Permitting: Georgia offers a consolidated state environmental program with delegated authority from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for issuance and enforcement of federal permits. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources issues or denies all permits required by state and federal environmental protection legislation when a facility is being located in the state. One-stop permitting enables prospective industries to obtain expedited required permits. SITE SELECTION “Top U.S. Business Climates” 1. GEORGIA 2. North Carolina 3. Kentucky 4.
