Georgia Passes Law Imposing Tax on Online Purchases

The Georgia Senate unanimously approves a $262 million tax reform bill (H.B. 386) that would address an array of state taxes—including requiring internet retailers to collect Georgia sales tax on purchases made by the state's residents. The 54-0 vote comes two days after the House approves the measure 155-9. H.B. 386 now heads to the desk of Gov. Deal, who has pushed for the measure.
