Georgia Sales Tax FAQ

What is the Georgia sales tax rate?

The state base rate is 4%. County local option taxes stack on top, so combined rates commonly run 7% to 8%, reaching about 9% in parts of metro Atlanta.

What are all those Georgia local tax acronyms?

Georgia counties adopt voter-approved local option taxes — LOST, SPLOST for special projects, ESPLOST for schools, TSPLOST for transportation, and MARTA tax in metro Atlanta. Each adds a percentage point, which is why combined rates vary by county.

Are groceries taxable in Georgia?

Groceries are exempt from Georgia's 4% state rate but remain subject to local option taxes in most counties, so grocery receipts show a lower, local-only rate.

No. It is a math helper only. Confirm the correct county rate with the Georgia Department of Revenue or a qualified professional.
