Failure to pay the occupation tax by April 1st will result in the assessment of a 10% penalty on the tax due, plus interest of 1.5% per month. A request for a waiver of penalties and interest must be done online. Submission of a waiver request does not guarantee the waiver will be approved and does not relieve a business from its tax obligations. Each penalty waiver request will be judged individually based on its facts and circumstances. Please forward request to biztax@atlantaga.gov. NOTE: DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES REGARDING COVID-19, THE PAYMENT DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 1, 2020. ANY PAYMENTS MADE AFTER THIS DATE WILL RECEIVE PENALTIES.
