Realty Men To Seek Change In Tax Act
The Atlanta Real Estate Board plans to press lawmakers for reducing the $10 general tax per county on real estate agents. A committee report, presented at the March board meeting, urges contacting Representative-elect Rulpn O Cochran to amend the act, outlining current tax provisions and penalties for noncompliance.
Real estate tax ruling cited by Georgia attorney general
Georgia Attorney General Felder writes that real estate agents must pay a $10 tax in every county where they conduct business. The Court of Appeals ruling in Port and Urcett v. Thomason holds nonregistered brokers cannot recover commissions. It urges agents to pay taxes in counties of sale to avoid prosecutions or loss of commissions. Also notes possible constitutional test and legislative remedy to limit taxes to home counties.
