Georgia Payroll Reporting…How to Avoid Common Pitfalls
Georgia Withholding: To report your Georgia withholdings, Georgia will assign you to a reporting cycle; be sure to carefully review the reports they send as the due dates will be detailed on the forms.
Georgia Department of Labor: This is a DOL/quarterly report which is due thirty days after the close of the quarter where employers are required to pay for the SUTA/state unemployment taxes. Please note that initially when you business starts this rate is statutory and then it will adjust over time based upon your claims experience. Please be sure to look for this notice of your annual rate which Georgia sends at the first of each year.
For those operating in other states you will want to contact the varying local authorities to ensure that you are aware of local tax laws. Please be advised that certain cities also have payroll taxes which should be assessed against wages.
