This year Georgia tinkered with its gas tax to address a transportation funding deficit.
Georgia’s Gas Tax Reform looks like this: “Drivers pay 26 cents for every gallon of unleaded gasoline and 29 cents per gallon for diesel fuel. The new single fuel tax replaced a system of excise and prepaid local and state taxes.”
Georgia threw in some other tax reforms too:
- A new $5 nightly fee on hotel and motel overnight stays generated $14.9 million in revenues last month.
- A new highway impact fee generated $844,000 last month
Revenues Went up in year to year comparison: 13.6% increase
