Synopsis
GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
ALCOHOL & TOBACCO DIVISION
CHAPTER 560-8 ALCOHOL & TOBACCO DIVISION (TOBACCO)
SUBJECT 560-8-7 ADMINISTRATIVE FORMS
Rule 560-8-7-.02 Reporting – Administrative Forms
The Georgia Department of Revenue proposes to amend Rule 560-8-7-.02 Reporting – Administrative Forms by repealing the entire rule as indicated by underline and strikethrough on the attached copy of the Proposed Rule.
The purpose and the main feature of the rule is to require tobacco licensees to submit documentation related to a new or renewal license application, as well as tobacco excise tax returns, electronically through the Georgia Tax Center.
The purpose of the amendment is to repeal the rule in its entirety as the provisions of the rule are either outdated or will be stated elsewhere within Chapter 560-8, as amended by current proposed rule changes. As this rule is the only remaining rule within Subject 560-8-7, the Subject will now be repealed in its entirety.
