EXECUTIVE ORDER
BY THE GOVERNOR:
WHEREAS: The annual economic impact of Georgia airports amounts to over $62 billion per year; and
WHEREAS: Direct flights out of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport alone have supported nearly $11 billion in foreign investment and 42,000 jobs across the state; and
WHEREAS: Georgia currently assesses a 4% sales and use tax on jet fuel pursuant to Article 1 of Chapter 8 of Title 48 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated; and
WHEREAS: This assessment amounts to the 4th highest tax burden on jet fuel among states with major airport hubs, behind only Illinois, California, and Michigan; and
WHEREAS: Many other states impose little or no tax on jet fuel, placing Georgia airports at a competitive disadvantage compared to those in Florida, New York, North Carolina, and Texas, among others.
NOW, THEREFORE, PURSUANT TO THE AUTHORITY VESTED IN ME AS GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED: That, pursuant to the authority vested in me as Governor by O.C.G.A. 4512-22(a), the collection of sales and use tax on jet fuel is hereby suspended effective August 1, 2018.
