Certificate Of Exemption Of Local Hotel/motel Excise Tax Form

ATTENTION: GEORGIA HOTEL AND MOTEL OPERATORS

On April 2, 1987, Act Number 621 amending Official Code of Georgia Annotated

Section 48-13-51 became effective. This Act provides that Georgia State or local

government officials or employees traveling on official business should not be charged

county or municipal excise tax on lodging. Sales tax is not exempted under the current

sales tax law, since the payment of hotel/motel bills by an employee is not considered to

be payment made directly by a State agency from appropriated funds. Upon verification

of the identity of the State official or employee identified below, Georgia hotel and motel

operators are authorized to exempt the individual from any applicable county or

municipal lodging excise tax. Sales tax, however, should continue to be charged.

A copy of this certification should be maintained with your tax records to document the

individual’s status as a state official or employee traveling on official business. If you

have any questions, please contact the accounting or fiscal office of the Department or

agency employing the individual identified below.
