The tax on purchases of gas has been suspended in Georgia since March 18 but was due to expire July 14. However, it has been extended through August 13, providing motorists some relief at the pumps.
In Georgia, we pay federal tax of 18.4 cents per gallon in addition to the now-suspended state tax of 29.1 cents per gallon. It’s one of the highest in the country and the second highest in the South after North Carolina at 38.5 cents a gallon.
The average cost of a tank of gas in our state is around $4.35 while the national average is $4.84.
