SUMMARY:

            This bill would amend Code Section 48-8-3 of the O.C.G.A. to extend the periods of exemption to June 30, 2011 from sales tax on food used for hunger or disaster relief.

NOTE:

            Though not of enormous impact on state revenue, and obviously intended for good works, this bill is yet another example of chipping away at revenue in a time of economic crisis.  Those who could afford to donate are probably those who could afford to pay sales tax on the food.
