Franchise Tax Bill Finalized After Conference Action
After a conference, the house accepted senate amendments to the franchise tax bill, section 10 was stricken, and the measure moves to Governor Terrell for signature. The final agreement ensures cities collecting occupation taxes or gross receipts percentages from franchises also receive the franchise tax, avoiding double taxation on Georgia Railway and Electric Company. A conference committee earlier resolved discrepancies, and the bill is now ready for the governor's approval.
