“And it’s something that I’ve said before and now I’m going to say it again, this isn’t the government’s money, it’s yours.”
Governor Brian Kemp announced another round of tax rebates for Georgia taxpayers on Tuesday afternoon. Kemp said the move is designed to provide further relief to Georgians struggling with high costs.
“Modeled after the rebates we’ve enacted previously, this proposal would return $250 to a single tax filer, $375 to a single flier who is head of household, and $500 to a married couple filing jointly,” Kemp said.
He thanked lawmakers for agreeing to this and similar measures in the past.
“Because whether it’s the tax rebates we’ve given in prior years, the homeowner tax relief grant we passed last year, the multiple times we’ve suspended the state gas tax, enacting the largest income tax cut in state history, or any other relief effort we’ve made, the legislature is a key partner,” according to Kemp.
According to Kemp, this is not the end of policies aimed at helping taxpayers, as he and the general assembly will continue looking at ways to assist Georgians, especially those hard hit by Hurricane Helene.
“In total this proposal will save Georgia taxpayers over $1 billion and when you add that to the other relief measures I listed earlier, together this group will have saved or returned over $6.6 billion for hardworking Georgians.”
