Use Taxes
Use taxes ensure that all taxable goods and services, particularly from out-of-state or online purchases, are taxed appropriately within a jurisdiction. For Georgia local governments, maintaining a robust use tax system is crucial for funding public services and infrastructure. LFBarnes Law partners with local governments to navigate the complexities of use tax law. The Firm provides legal guidance, develop compliance programs, and represent cities during audits to safeguard revenue and ensure equitable taxation.
