Call Now: 904-383-7448It is the intention of the General Assembly in enacting this article to exercise its full and complete power to tax the retail purchase, retail sale, rental, storage, use, and consumption of tangible personal property and the services described in this article except to the extent prohibited by the Constitutions of the United States and of this state and except to the extent of specific exemptions provided in this article.
(Ga. L. 1951, p. 360, § 4; Ga. L. 1965, p. 13, § 2; Code 1933, § 91A-4506, enacted by Ga. L. 1978, p. 309, § 2; Ga. L. 1979, p. 5, § 93.)
- For article, "Clarification Needed in Georgia Retail Sales and Use Tax Statute," see 41 Mercer L. Rev. 1 (1989).
- Imposition of sales tax on that part of lease receipts derived from use of a leased vehicle in interstate commerce does not constitute a burden on interstate commerce and is therefore not within the exemption created by this section, which provides that it is not the intention of Ga. L. 1951, p. 360 (see now O.C.G.A. Art. 1, Ch. 8, T. 48) to levy a tax on bona fide interstate commerce. Oxford v. Blankenship, 106 Ga. App. 546, 127 S.E.2d 706 (1962).

Art. 1, Ch. 8, T. 48) to pay tax on the gross proceeds to the commissioner and to pass the tax on to the lessee as an additional charge. The fact that the lessee may use a leased truck partially or exclusively in interstate hauls is immaterial so long as the first use under the rental contract is within this state. 1957 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 321.
- Construing Ga. L. 1951, p. 360 (see now O.C.G.A. Art. 1, Ch. 8, T. 48), purchases made in this state of tangible personal property to be used or consumed or stored exclusively outside this state are not subject to the tax imposed by Ga. L. 1951, p. 360, and dealers are not required to collect the tax from such purchasers. 1954-56 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 865.
