- Georgia’s Department of Revenue is consulting on new regulations for taxing digital product sales.
- The proposed rules will implement Senate Bill 56, expanding sales tax to digital goods starting January 1, 2024.
- Public comments on the regulations are due by December 19, 2024.
- The tax will apply to digital products sold for permanent use, regardless of how they are accessed (downloaded, online, or hosted).
- Purchases that allow permanent use, even with continued payment, are taxable (e.g., digital newspaper subscriptions).
- Transactions involving both NFTs and taxable digital products will have the entire transaction taxed.
- Exemptions include:
- Internet access service
- Prewritten computer software transferred electronically
- Software as a Service (SaaS)
- Subscriptions without permanent use rights
- Dealers who purchase digital products for resale must pay use tax if the products are withdrawn from inventory for taxable purposes.
