Georgia

Georgia is in a strong financial position. We’ve lowered income tax rates, returned money to taxpayers, built historic reserves, and still funded education, healthcare and public safety. That combination only happens because Georgia has lived within its means. So rather than asking, “Can Georgia afford to eliminate the income tax?” the better question is, “Why wouldn’t we?”

Georgia improved its financial condition in 2024, finishing the year with $13.6 billion more than needed to pay its bills, according to Truth in Accounting.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a “comprehensive” school safety plan into law.
