The governor of Georgia has signed a new bill into law that will cancel state taxes on the income for military veterans.
Republican Governor Brian Kemp signed House Bill 266 to exempt taxes for vets starting in 2026, according to Just the News.
Under the current law, retired veterans under the age of 62 receive up to a $17,500 exemption on their income tax and an additional $17,500 exemption if they have at least $17,500 of earned income.
More than 102,500 retired veterans live in Georgia, and more than 92,000 receive military retirement benefits, according to 2022 statistics from the Department of Defense, which were included in the bill’s fiscal note.
Georgia is one of just 12 states that taxes military income.
“Eliminating the income tax on military retirement benefits is a common-sense approach to providing tax relief to heroes who have risked their lives to keep our communities, state and nation safe,” said Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in a statement supporting the bill. “Allowing these benefits to be earned tax-free will also help make Georgia a leading destination for service men and women as they transition from the military into civilian life and bring their talents and experience to workplaces across our state.”
Good on Georgia.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
