Georgia Sales and Use Tax Applicable to Registration

 

The rate of sales and use tax ranges from 4% to 7% of the purchase price or rental charge, less trade-in allowance. Tax rates vary among counties because of the Local Option Tax, Special County Tax, Educational Tax, and MARTA tax. Credit for like taxes paid in another state is allowed on a reciprocal basis. Non-residents purchasing motor vehicles in Georgia may be exempt when completing a Certificate of Exemption, Form ST-8, and immediately transporting and using the vehicle in the state of residence. Dealers are responsible for the collection of the tax from the purchaser.
