Sess., p. 77, § 26; Ga. L. 1961, p. 445, § 1; Code 1933, § 91A-230, enacted by Ga. L. 1978, p. 309, § 2. JUDICIAL DECISIONS Editor’s notes. In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, decisions under Ga. L. 1951, p. 360, § 18 are included in the annotations for this Code section. Date and superiority of lien for sales and use taxes. — Lien and the lien’s rank is provided for the state for sales and use taxes. Such lien attaches on the day on which the dealer is required to make the dealer’s return and remittance to the commissioner and is declared to be superior to all other liens. State v. Atlanta Provision Co., 90 Ga. App. 147, 82 S.E.2d 145, 1954 Ga. App. LEXIS 655 (1954) (decided under Ga. L. 1951, p. 360, § 18). Effect of recording lien. — Recording of the fieri facias issued by the commissioner on the general execution docket is not a condition precedent to the attachment of a lien for sales taxes. Only effect of failure to record the lien is that as against innocent purchasers the lien will be lost. State v. Atlanta Provision Co., 90 Ga. App. 147, 82 S.E.2d 145, 1954 Ga. App. LEXIS 655 (1954) (decided under Ga. L. 1951, p. 360, § 18). RESEARCH REFERENCES Am. Jur. 2d. 72 Am. Jur. 2d, State and Local Taxation, §§ 712, 713. C.J.S. 85 C.J.S., Taxation, § 991 et seq. ALR.
