Earlier this year, Kemp signed a set of tax relief bills into law to accelerate what the state calls the largest income tax cut in Georgia’s history.

According to the governor’s office, the new laws collectively will save taxpayers more than $1 billion in 2024 due to speeding up the tax cut plans and reducing income taxes on Georgians.
