Paperwork and rules for Georgia businesses online

Having a website does not change the rules, but these apply to many Barwick businesses:

• Georgia’s state sales and use tax rate is 4%, and every county adds local taxes, so the combined rate is typically 7% to 9%. Georgia Department of Revenue
• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Georgia’s is more than $100,000 in gross revenue from Georgia retail sales in the previous or current calendar year, or 200 or more separate retail sales. Policy Bulletin SUT-2019-02
