Georgia’s net tax collections in November totaled nearly $2.4 billion, an increase of $22.4 million (0.9%) compared to the same month in FY 2025, when the state collected about $2.38 billion. For the fiscal year to date, Georgia’s net tax revenues reached nearly $13.28 billion, up $262.7 million (2.0%) from roughly $13.02 billion collected through November 2024.

State revenue officials note this year-to-year snapshot is influenced by the motor fuel tax suspension tied to Hurricane Helene in October 2024. When motor fuel tax changes are removed from the comparison, November revenues were down 2.1% versus the same month a year ago, while year-to-date collections were up 1.4%.

Where the money moved in November

Individual Income Tax collections came in at about $1.13 billion, down $46.7 million (4.0%) from FY 2025. The decline was driven largely by:

  • Lower withholding payments (down $39.9 million / 3.4%)

  • Lower return payments (down $5.2 million / 15.3%)

  • Higher refunds issued (up $3.8 million / 5.5%)

  • Other individual tax categories rose modestly (up $2.2 million combined)

Sales and Use Tax showed strength. Gross collections totaled $1.64 billion, up $38.6 million (2.4%). Net sales tax rose $23.5 million (3%) compared to last year, and the adjusted distribution to local governments increased to $820.7 million (up $18.6 million / 2.3%). Sales tax refunds were also down $3.5 million, helping boost the net figure.

Corporate Income Tax swung sharply lower, declining by $38.3 million compared to last year, when net corporate tax revenues totaled $29.3 million. The drop included:

  • Refunds up $24.8 million (78.9%)

  • Return payments down $8.3 million (48%)

  • Other corporate payments (including estimates) down $5.2 million combined

Motor Fuel Taxes increased by $70.2 million versus last year, largely because last year’s numbers were reduced by Governor Kemp’s two-week fuel tax suspension that began October 3, 2024, after Hurricane Helene.

In motor vehicle-related revenue, Tag & Title fees fell $4.1 million (13.4%) from last year’s $30.5 million, while Title Ad Valorem Tax (TAVT) increased by about $3.7 million (5.1%) from FY 2025’s nearly $73 million.
