Paperwork and rules for Georgia businesses online
These are some of the Georgia and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:
- 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
- A Georgia trade name is not a state filing: it is registered with the Clerk of the Superior Court in the county where the business is located, and the registration must be published in the local legal newspaper once a week for two consecutive weeks. O.C.G.A. 10-1-490
This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
