Georgia House Bill 388, which aims to create a sales
tax on services of many small businesses, is still
alive in the Georgia Legislature. The bill, if
passed, would be devastating to the automotive
service industry, placing additional tax burdens on
automotive maintenance, repair, auto body repair,
equipment installation services, brake repair, oil
changes, motor tuneups, and engine repair and
replacement, to name a few.
Despite the fact that no action was taken
on Georgia H.B. 388 before the Georgia Legislature
adjourned, the legislation could be considered during
the special session later this summer.
ASA opposes the proposed automotive repair
tax, and calls on Georgia independent automotive
repairers and consumers to contact their respective
representatives in opposition to the
legislation.
