Resolution

• As long as you are using the correct tax code in your Georgia transactions, AvaTax will make eligible food sales taxable at the local level and non-taxable at the state level.
  • For information on choosing the correct tax code for your product, please review Where can I get help finding the right tax code.
• However, since our filing automation does not currently break out deductions, if you would like Avalara to file a Georgia return on your behalf with food sales, please follow the instructions listed here.
