ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — Gov. Brian Kemp touted Georgia lawmakers’ success in passing income tax rebates for Georgians.
Single filers will get $250. Joint filers will get $500. The head of household will get $375.
“With final passage of HB 1000 today, Georgians will receive another, one-time income tax rebate this year of up to $500 for joint filers,“ Kemp said on social media. ”Grateful for our partners in the legislature for helping us provide relief to hardworking Georgians and return more of their money back to their pockets.”
In his final state of the state address earlier this year, delivered to both Georgia representatives and senators, Kemp proposed a budget that includes another $1 billion tax rebate that, he said, “will return or save the average filer $250 and a married couple up to $500.
“With this rebate, my administration and this General Assembly will have returned over $7.5 billion in surplus revenue to the taxpayers of our state over the last four years,” he said.
Kemp also said he is proposing an additional, 20-basis point reduction in the state’s personal and corporate income tax rate, bringing it to 4.99 percent.
