Georgia Approves Gas Tax Suspension and $1.2 Billion in Tax Rebates

The Georgia General Assembly moved quickly to pass HB1199 in response to rising gas prices, driven by conflict in Iran and instability in global oil markets. The suspension of the gas tax offers a direct, albeit temporary, reduction in fuel costs for consumers. Simultaneously, the approval of $1.2 billion in tax rebates through HB1000 provides broader financial relief to taxpayers across the state. This combination of measures reflects an effort by Georgia lawmakers to address both immediate and longer-term economic concerns for their constituents. The decrease in the gas tax will save citizens money immediately, while the tax rebates will take longer to process. These measures will help Georgia families save money during a time of international conflict.

Gas prices are expected to drop by approximately 33 cents per gallon for regular gas and 37 cents for diesel.

The suspension will take effect immediately once Gov. Kemp signs the bill.

The gas tax will be suspended for 60 days.

The tax rebates will take longer to process than the gas tax suspension.
