Deal signs car tax fix
By Kristina Torres
March 7, 2013Gov. Nathan Deal has signed legislation fixing the state’s new car tax, setting in motion changes Georgians who lease cars will see in a matter of days.
The state Legislature passed the legislation Tuesday.
It fixes unintended consequences of a new law that took effect Friday that eliminated the state’s hated “birthday tax” on car registrations. A chief problem was a double tax on car leases.
