The Georgia Department of Revenue is the state agency responsible for administering tax laws and regulations in the state of Georgia. They oversee the collection of state taxes, motor vehicle registrations, and other revenue-generating activities to ensure compliance with state laws.
Tax nexus refers to a relationship between a business entity and a taxing jurisdiction. There are four main types: income tax nexus, sales and use tax nexus, franchise tax nexus, and excise tax nexus. If your business has one of these types of nexus in a state, you may need to pay the corresponding tax type there.
Determining where you have each type of nexus is a critical—and complicated—compliance task. Nexus criteria and qualification thresholds vary by state. Some states also “test” for nexus in different ways.
Wage theft is a major employment issue nationwide, especially in larger states like California. It happens when employers don’t pay their employees what they’ve rightfully earned, such as skipping out on overtime, denying breaks, or misclassifying workers. Wage theft is more common than you might think, affecting millions of workers across the state.
Thankfully, California is taking measures to prevent it — like passing the Wage Theft Prevention Act (WTPA). This law cracks down on wage theft, strengthens workers’ rights, and ensures that workers are paid what they’re owed.
Salary transparency laws are a relatively new phenomenon in the US—until Colorado enacted the 2021 Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, no US jurisdictions required businesses to disclose pay information to employees or the public.
Since 2021, eight additional states and multiple jurisdictions have passed similar laws. An increasing number of legislators and policy groups have also called for additional action, identifying wage secrecy as a contributor to both the gender pay gap and wage gaps affecting people of color—and citing a growing body of research showing that salary transparency can increase pay equity.
