State chamber to host tax reform forum Nov. 5
The Georgia Chamber of Commerce is hosting a forum designed to examine and discuss the state's current tax and compliance policies on Thursday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Georgia Tech Global Learning Center (84 Fifth Street, Atlanta).
"One of the most important things we can do to attract and retain quality business in Georgia is maintain a balanced tax structure that is competitive when compared to other states in the Southeast and throughout the nation," said George Israel, president and CEO of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce.
"This forum will provide an important opportunity to reflect on our current state and explore potential reforms."
The conference will feature speakers from the Council on State Taxation, the Tax Foundation, Georgia State University, the Georgia Department of Revenue, and a number of Georgia businesses. Georgia Tax Commissioner Bart Graham and House Ways and Means members Representative David Knight (Griffin), Representative Alan Peake (Macon), and Representative Chuck Martin (Alpharetta) are also scheduled to participate.
