Running a website from Martin: the Georgia rules

A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Georgia rules as any other.

• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Georgia sales tax once they reach the state threshold: 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
• 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
