Qualified Georgians to receive up to $375 tax-free money from the state, part of Gov. Kemp efforts to help financially

Georgia – Georgia Governor Brian P. Kemp, backed by important political personalities and supporters, made a major statement at the Georgia State Capitol disclosing plans for a third special tax rebate meant to offer financial relief to Georgian citizens. Joined by First Lady Marty Kemp, Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, Speaker of the House Jon Burns, and members of the Georgia General Assembly, the Governor described the idea aiming to return about $1 billion back to Georgia residents.

This most recent project promises to give qualified Georgians a one-time special tax return, effectively augmenting a series of fiscal strategies that have together saved state taxpayers over $6.6 billion. Married couples submitting jointly will get $500; single filers are slated to collect $250, head-of- house filers $375. These figures reflect the rebates given in past rounds and support a more general endeavor by the state government to reduce the financial load on its citizens.

“Inflation may have fallen, but high prices are still here and weighing down hardworking Georgians every time they go to the grocery store, the gas pump, and so many other places in our daily lives,” said Governor Brian Kemp.

“While bad policies coming out of Washington, D.C. are still hurting America’s families, here in Georgia we’re working to give our people relief. I want to thank the General Assembly for their support of the measure we announced today, and the many actions we’ve taken before now to put more money back in the pockets of hardworking Georgians,” Governor Brian Kemp added.

Following a significant tax cut earlier this year that hastened what has been reported as the biggest state income tax drop in Georgia’s history, the news marks the third refund in a trio of tax returns released under Kemp’s administration.

“Under our state’s strong conservative leadership, we’ve balanced the budget every year while lowering our income tax rate and returning billions of dollars to taxpayers,” said Lt. Governor Burt Jones. “I want to thank Governor Brian Kemp for his leadership and for prioritizing the budgets of Georgia’s families.

“Georgia’s strong conservative leadership and strategic fiscal policies have created a historic $16 billion budget surplus, and we’re proud that we’ve been able to continue investing in everything from healthcare and education to infrastructure and workforce development – all while cutting taxes and saving Georgia families and businesses millions of dollars,” said Speaker Jon Burns.

The promised tax rebates are meant to be simple for taxpayers; no more action is needed save from submitting their usual tax returns for the past two years. Under state legislation, these rebates will not be regarded as taxable income, so ensuring that the recipients would get the whole financial advantage.
