Understanding Georgia Income Taxes
Residents of Georgia pay state income tax on top of federal taxes. Georgia’s flat rate fell from 5.19% (2025) to 4.99% for 2026 under HB 463, and further scheduled cuts continue toward 4.99% and below in later years. The amount you owe depends on your taxable income, filing status, and the deductions and credits Georgia allows.
