Press Release

The State of Georgia’s net tax collections in May totaled $2.69 billion, for an increase of $224 million, or 9.1%, compared to FY 2024, when net tax collections approached $2.47 billion for the month_._ As a result of the hurricane-related tax filing deadline extension granted by Governor Kemp to file tax year 2024 income tax returns, a large number of filers took advantage of the extension by remitting payments at the May 1 deadline, leading to a significant portion of both individual and corporate return payments being captured in the May reporting cycle.
