The Honorable Sonny Perdue, Governor Members of the Georgia Legislature 100 State Capitol Atlanta, Georgia 30334
Dear Governor Perdue and Legislative Members:
I am pleased to present to you the Annual Report of the Georgia Department of Revenue for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. Net collections for the past fiscal year totaled $17,567,794,839 compared to $16,341,090,102 for fiscal year 2006, a 7.5% increase. This provides further evidence of Georgia's economic growth and highlights the Department's continued compliance efforts.
The report also highlights many of the Departments functions and improvements, including efforts to improve customer service through a redesigned web page and a more efficient customer call center, increased usage of electronic processes that allow for more efficient return and payment processing and improvements in hiring practices to recruit, train and retain a highly motivated and professional staff. This Annual Report is designed to provide a glimpse into the scope of work needed to accomplish our mission: To provide the best customer service and operational performance of any state taxing authority and the IRS.
These results are directly attributable to the Department's commitment to administer Georgia's tax laws in a fair and equitable manner, the dedication of our employees and to the cooperation and support we receive from the executive and legislative branches. We look forward to serving you and all Georgians. Please let me know what additional or clarifying information may be of further assistance to you.
Respectfully submitted,

Bart L. Graham

2007 Statistical Report
FOREWORD
The Georgia Department of Revenue ("DOR") is responsible for the annual collection of taxes and fees, from both individuals and businesses, which together fund the daily operations of state government. The Department's mission is to administer Georgia's tax laws in a fair and equitable manner while providing a high level of customer service to ensure that every Georgia citizen pays their fair share of tax and nothing more. In Fiscal Year 2007, the Department collected approximately $20.9 billion in gross tax revenues and distributed over $4.7 billion in sales tax revenues to counties and municipalities.
Utilizing advanced technology, the Department processed over 4.1 million individual income tax returns and issued more than 3.0 million refunds (over 1.2 million of them electronically). In addition to the collection of revenue, the Department also performs a myriad of other tasks that include the regulation of alcohol and tobacco; managing the taxation of interstate trucking; reviewing county property tax digests; administration of the unclaimed property program; and developing tax forms, instructions, and procedures with the goal of enhancing compliance efforts across all tax types while at the same time making the reporting and collection of taxes less onerous for Georgia taxpayers.
All figures included in this publication are unaudited unless otherwise noted. Following is a list of tax types administered by the Department accompanied by a brief history of each one.
CORPORATE INCOME TAX
Georgia's Corporate Income Tax has been an important tax source since its inception in 1929 and is currently assessed at a six (6%) percent tax rate which went into effect in 1969. In Georgia, a large number of companies attempt to pay little or no annual corporate income tax by employing certain income shifting strategies that eliminate or minimize their Georgia taxable income. Georgia resolved a case in 2006 whereby a Georgia taxpayer settled with DOR covering tax years 2000, 2001 and 2002 for approximately $30 million in cash and $60 million in net operating loss carryover. A corporate net worth tax is administered in conjunction with the corporate income tax. Please refer to pages 1, 12, 13, 22, 23, & 52 for statistical information relating to these two tax types.
INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX
Georgia's Individual Income Tax began in 1929 with a graduated system tied to income levels implemented two years later. It was revised in 1937 to what is essentially the graduated scale in effect today. Over the following seven decades additional refinements included the creation of withholding tax, estimated tax, and new graduated schedules for certain types of filers. More than 4.1 million individual income tax returns both paper and electronic are filed annually. Georgia uses as the "starting point" for purposes of Individual Income Tax, a taxpayer's Federal Adjusted Gross Income ("AGI") based upon their Federal return.

2007 Statistical Report
ALCOHOL TAXES
The licensed sale of alcoholic beverages commenced in Georgia in the mid-1930s upon the nationwide repeal of Prohibition. Georgia is a "local option" state for purposes of the licensing and sale of alcoholic beverages. Thus, any city or county that wants to provide for the licensing and sale of distilled spirits can do so legally only after an affirmative vote of its citizens. If a "no" vote, the question cannot be voted upon again for two years (one year if it was a "by-the-drink" vote). Upon approval of the voters, the licensing, sale, and manufacture of distilled spirits will be permitted provided the manufacturer, wholesaler, or retailer obtains an alcohol beverage license from the Department of Revenue in addition to all "local ordinance" licenses and requirements. Alcohol beverage statistics may be found on pages 1, 10, 15, 16, 22 & 35.
MOTOR FUEL TAX
One of ten states that inaugurated this tax source in 1921, motor fuel is the oldest major tax currently in use in Georgia. All 48 states had imposed motor fuel taxation by 1929, and it was the largest revenue producer in Georgia (and most states) until after World War II. Georgia's leading revenue producer for three decades, motor fuel was eclipsed by the new three (3%) percent state sales tax during the 1950s and 1960s. It was relegated to number three in the 1970s due to the individual income tax's graduated scale and an accompanying inflationary rise in incomes.
Today, motor fuel generates as much revenue for the state of Georgia as the entire tax system did in the early 1950s. A rate of seven cents per gallon was in effect in January 1950. A three (3%) percent sales (excise) tax was added as a Second Motor Fuel Tax on July 1, 1979. Effective January 2004, this was replaced with a four (4%) percent Prepaid State Tax. It is collected by a licensed distributor when sales are made to a non-licensed distributor-reseller. Effective January 2008, a Local Prepaid Sales Tax was imposed on the sale of motor fuel (only) based on the applicable tax rate in each taxing jurisdiction. The Prepaid Sales Tax rates on motor fuel are converted to cents-per-gallon based upon the average selling price for each fuel type. These Prepaid rates are recalculated every six months and become effective on January 1 and July 1 each year. Motor Fuel Tax data is presented on pages 1, 22, 23, 33, 35 & 38.
MOTOR VEHICLE TAGS AND TITLES
During the second year since the return of the Motor Vehicle Division on July 1, 2005, in conjunction with county tag offices, the Department processed over 2.7 million title applications and 9.4 million registration transactions. The Motor Vehicle license law was initiated in 1910 and a title law added in 1963. A motor vehicle title is akin to a deed for a parcel of real estate. Current Georgia law requires an individual to secure a title upon purchase of a vehicle.
Application for tags and/or decals for all vehicles, and payment of ad valorem taxes (a form of property tax) to the county of registration, are made to the county tag agent. The county tag agent is typically the county tax commissioner or tax collector. The county tag agent issues all tags and renewal decals except those for certain large trucks (International Registration Plan) which are issued by the Department of Revenue. Applications for titles may be
ii

2007 Statistical Report
submitted to the county tag agent or the Department of Revenue.
Each registration and/or title application must be filed in the county of legal residence of the vehicle's owner during their designated registration period. If the vehicle is titled in the name of a business enterprise located in another county, the license application must be filed in that county.
Nonresidents who move to Georgia permanently, as opposed to those who are merely sojourning, must purchase a Georgia tag no later than thirty (30) days after establishing residency in Georgia. Persons employed on a temporary basis or just passing through are not required to register their vehicle if they remain in the state for less than thirty (30) consecutive days. Military personnel are not required to register vehicles in Georgia provided they display a valid license plate from their home state. Out-of-state students may use a vehicle registered in another state provided that state is a member of the Multi-State Reciprocity Agreement.
The Motor Vehicle Division encompasses several internal departments related to the administration of tags and title for the State of Georgia. Those departments include Commercial Vehicles, Title Processing, Research and Title Corrections, Title Print Shop, Special Tags, Motor Vehicle Inspections, Training, Citizens Call Center, Vehicle Valuation and Assessment, and County Tag Office Help Desk.
PROPERTY TAX
In the mid-1800s, Georgia passed an Act allowing for the taxation of property or "ad valorem." The ad valorem has remained in effect since then and is the primary source of revenue for local county governments and municipalities in Georgia. In addition, a small amount of property tax revenue is deposited into the State Treasury. Although counties and municipalities administer the tax, the State Revenue Commissioner is charged with the supervisory authority to ensure uniform administration throughout Georgia in accordance with the law.
Ad Valorem tax is based upon the "value" of real and personal property that is subject to the tax. The tax rate, or "millage," in each county is determined annually by the Board of County Commissioners or other local administrative body. A tax rate of "one mill" represents an assessment of $1 per $1,000 of assessed value. The average county millage rate in Georgia in 2007 was approximately 26.86 mills. Counties remit one-quarter mill of total revenue collected to the state. Pages 5, 6, 16, 23, 37, 38, 43-46, & 47-51 reflect property tax collections. Tables containing county property tax data begin on page 39.
The Local Government Services Division prepares values for all properties owned and operated by public utilities, and the flight equipment of airlines, for the Department of Revenue. To arrive at a public utility's property value in each tax jurisdiction, the Fair Market Value ("FMV") of the utility system, the portion of the system located in Georgia, the portion in each jurisdiction, and the average level of assessment in each county is afforded close review. The Division also prepares final assessed values for railroad equipment car
iii

2007 Statistical Report
companies based upon the value of the cars, the proportion of their use in Georgia, and the average level of assessment in each county.
On April 15, 1999, House Bill 553 became law. It provides homeowners with property tax relief for assessed county, school, and state property taxes. In 2005, it allocated the equivalent of an additional $8,000 homestead exemption to eligible property owners in the form of a Homestead Tax Relief Grant ("HTRG"). House Bill 1321, passed during the 2002 Session of the General Assembly, permitted municipalities to extend HTRG to city residents. To calculate the tax savings for 2005, up to $8,000 is multiplied by the combined millage rate for county, city, school, and city taxes. This amount is deducted directly from a homeowner's property tax bill and reimbursed to the county and city by the State.
The Department has been responsible for administration of the state's Unclaimed Property Program since 1973. The state serves as custodian, in perpetuity, for all unclaimed property and abandoned funds until claimed by the rightful owners or heirs. Common types of unclaimed property include unclaimed wages, bank accounts, matured insurance policies, stocks and bonds, mutual funds, contents of safety deposit boxes, and various other unclaimed debts. The Unclaimed Property Section, which is part of the Local Government Services Division, receives in excess of $80 million worth of abandoned property annually. The Program maintains an active website with current information concerning property and reporting requirements, plus a database where citizens can search for property that they believe to be rightfully theirs and which also allows them to file a claim request online. The Unclaimed Property Program adds more than 100,000 owner properties in an average year and handles over 50,000 claim requests nationwide.
SALES AND USE TAX
Begun in April 1951 at a three (3%) percent statewide rate, Georgia was the 30th state to implement this tax source. Forty-five states currently have some type of state sales tax. This tax has been one of Georgia's largest revenue sources from its inception and now produces one-third of the state's total revenue. Georgia's state sales and use tax rate increased to four (4%) percent on April 1, 1989.
Beginning in 1975, when the concept of local option taxation was conceived and implemented in Georgia, several additional kinds of local option sales taxes have since been put into effect. With the approval of county voters, municipalities have increased the maximum rate of county sales tax in Georgia (encompassing the four(4%) percent state rate plus various one (1%) percent local option sales taxes) to eight (8%) percent.
Currently, all 159 Georgia counties impose some type of local option sales tax. Currently, only one municipality in Georgia (The City of Atlanta), at present, imposes sales tax based on the purchase price or rental charge of tangible personal property at the maximum rate of eight (8%) percent rate.
During Fiscal Year 2007, the Department of Revenue made the following distributions to counties and municipalities:
More than $1.5 billion for Education Local Option Sales Tax ("ELOST") to county and independent school systems;
iv

2007 Statistical Report
Over $1.2 billion for the 1% Local Option Sales Tax ("LOST") to counties and municipal governments; In excess of $1.3 billion for the 1% Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax ("SPLOST") to county governments; More than $349 million for operation of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority ("MARTA"); Over $115 million for the 1% Homestead Local Option Sales Tax ("HOST") for DeKalb and Rockdale counties; In excess of $122 million for Other Local Option Sales Tax to Towns County and the City of Atlanta.
TOBACCO TAXES
State taxation of cigars and cigarettes began in 1923. The rate on cigarettes increased gradually to 5 cents per pack in 1955. By 1971, it was 12 cents per pack. Effective July 1, 2003, the state excise tax on a pack of 20 cigarettes increased to the present rate of 37 cents. On a scale of 1 to 50 with the former representing the highest rate of tax, Georgia currently ranks 41st nationwide.
Also effective on July 1, 2003, the first-ever state excise tax was imposed on loose and smokeless tobacco. It is based upon ten (10%) percent of the wholesale cost price. That same day, the following rate changes also took effect: the tax rate on "little cigars" (weighing not more than 3 pounds per thousand) increased from 2 mills to 2.5 mills each, and the tax on all other cigars increased from thirteen (13%) percent to twenty-three (23%) percent of the wholesale cost price.
COUNTY TAX DATA
Personal income tax returns for 2005 have been tabulated by county and compiled in Table 12 beginning on page 39. Table 13, beginning on page 43, contains assessed property values of the gross general digest, net general digest, and public utility digest, plus LOST, SPLOST, and ELOST distributions by county. Table 14, beginning on page 47, presents Georgia counties by population, net income tax, one (1%) percent sales tax distribution, and property tax digest information found in the two preceding tables. The three right-hand columns list each county based upon a per capita amount so that an alternate method of comparison can be made.
Property tax millage rates, by county, in both an alphabetic and numeric series are presented in Tables 16 and 17. Both tables provide a method of quick reference to a given county's rate and a method of comparing a given millage rate vis--vis other counties.

REVENUE HIGHLIGHTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2007

R

During Fiscal Year 2007, the Department collected a net unaudited amount of $17,567,794,839,

G

representing an increase of $1,226,704,737 or 7.5% more than was collected in fiscal year 2006.

A

The revenue collection amount of $17.5B in fiscal year 2007 is the highest one-year collection amount in Department of Revenue history.

N

I

Increases in tax collections during fiscal year 2007 are attributable primarily to a strengthening

Z

economy and continued enforcement initiatives. Tax types that led the overall increases were as follows:

A

T

Individual Income Tax collections, which comprised approximately 49% of fiscal year 2007

I

net tax collections, totaled $8,779M, an increase of $739M or 9.2% over fiscal year 2006 collections of $8,040M.

O

N

Sales and Use Tax collections, which comprised approximately 34% of fiscal year 2007

Other Highlights for the past year:

During 2007, the Georgia Department of Revenue continued its efforts to provide improved customer and professional service to the taxpayers of Georgia. The Department took significant steps to support the Governor's initiative to improve customer service in all state agencies.

The Department's website was completely overhauled to improve its functionality and usefulness to taxpayers. The redesigned site is more visually appealing, has an improved search engine and improved navigational tools. Alcohol, Amusement, and International Fuel Tax Agreement licenses can now be renewed online.

The Motor Vehicle Division upgraded its walk-in customer service area to a state-of-the-art facility. The Division can now handle in a customer-friendly environment, four times the number of customers it could compared to the old area.

New equipment was installed in the Department's main customer service call center, which allows calls to be tracked from origination to finalization.

A second tier of more experienced employees was made available to forwarded callers who had complex questions or issues. This initiative resulted in more taxpayers being handled with only one call to the Department.

During 2007, the Department continued its ongoing customer-service training designed to improve how Georgia taxpayers are handled when they need to interface with the Department.

at the Processing Center. In 2008, both of these projects will be expanded to include

N

other tax types.

I

Compliance and alcohol agents were provided with wireless tablets, which allow them to

Z

download case information and records from the Department's mainframe computer while they

A

are away from their office computer. This provides them with real-time information while they

T

are present at a business location.

I

The Department's Bankruptcy Unit implemented a scanning system that allows its personnel to

O

operate in a paperless environment and communicate electronically with the court system.

N

The taxpayers were required to pay all tax and interest due on previously filed income tax returns. The Department collected approximately $5.2 million utilizing this project.

(i) The 2003 General Assembly, through House Bill 43 (Act 343) changed the method of collecting and remitting the three (3%) percent Second Motor Fuel Tax and the one (1%) percent State Sales & Use Tax on sales or use of motor fuel.
Effective January 1, 2004, all licensed motor fuel distributors (suppliers) in the State of Georgia must collect a Prepaid State Tax on all motor fuel sold to any purchaser not licensed as a Georgia distributor. The Prepaid State Tax combines these two percentage taxes and is collected at the time of sale by the licensed distributor. The new Prepaid State Tax rate for each fuel type is based on indexed retail sales price converted to a cent per gallon rate.
