Tax Collectors in Georgia Face Payment Question
From April 20 the sixty county tax collectors who have not filed tax returns to the comptroller general may be forced to pay funds already collected into the treasury of Georgia. The issue centers on whether the comptroller can execute against tax collectors and their bonds when state money is unpaid. The Georgia Supreme Court previously ruled that such executions could violate due process under the Fourteenth Amendment, but the latest question asks if the comptroller can compel payments and what actions exist to enforce. The pension payments to 143 counties reveal funds owed but unpaid, prompting debates in the capitol about new legislation to compel tax collectors to file timely returns and ensure state funds are remitted.
