HB1001 would reduce Georgia's income-tax rate from 5.19 percent to 4.99 percent for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The bill applies to Georgia's income-tax provisions and removes some of the conditional phase-down language tied to future rate reductions.
The Georgia State House of Representatives passed HB1001 on February 25, 2026 by a vote of 106 to 66. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because cutting the income tax is a crucial first step toward restoring economic liberty and limiting government overreach. The income tax is an immoral, anti-constitutional form of government-imposed theft that seizes wages rightfully earned by individuals. This manifestly socialist wealth-redistribution scheme funds "nanny-state" policies that only breed more debt, dependency, and poverty. Georgians must continue to reject tyrannical big government by upholding the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment, which declare that no state shall deprive any person of "liberty, or property" and guarantee "equal protection of the laws."
