Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 560-12-5-.07 - Credit for Taxes Paid

Where a Local Option Sales or Use Tax has been paid with respect to tangible personal property by the purchaser thereof, either in another Local Jurisdiction within the State or in a Taxing Jurisdiction outside the State, where the purpose of the tax is similar in purpose and intent to the tax authorized to be imposed by the Local Option Tax Act, said tax may be credited against the tax authorized to be imposed by the Local Option Tax Act upon the same property. If the amount of sales or use tax so paid is less than the amount of the use tax due as authorized to be imposed by the Local Option Tax Act, the purchaser shall pay an amount equal to the difference between the amount so paid in the other Local Jurisdiction, or in Taxing Jurisdiction outside the State, and the amount due as authorized to be imposed by the Local Option Tax Act. The State Revenue Commis-sioner may require proof of payment in another Local Jurisdiction in this State, or in a Taxing Jurisdiction outside the State, as is deemed to be necessary and proper.
