Credit for taxes paid in another tax jurisdiction.

Where a local sales or use tax has been paid with respect to tangible personal property by the purchaser either in another local tax jurisdiction within this state or in a tax jurisdiction outside this state, the tax may be credited against the tax authorized to be imposed by this part upon the same property. If the amount of sales or use tax so paid is less than the amount of the tax due under this part, the purchaser shall pay an amount equal to the difference between the amount paid in the other tax jurisdiction and the amount due under this part. The commissioner may require such proof of payment in another local tax jurisdiction as he or she deems necessary and proper. No credit shall be granted, however, against the tax under this part for tax paid in another jurisdiction if the tax paid in such other jurisdiction is used to obtain a credit against any other local sales and use tax levied in the county or in a metropolitan municipality special district which includes the county. History. Code 1981, § 48-8-269.31, enacted by Ga. L. 2016, p. 105, § 2-1/SB 369. Code Commission notes. Pursuant to Code Section 28-9-5, in 2016, this Code section, enacted as Code Section 48-8-269.9994, was redesignated as Code Section 48-8-269.31.
