This advisory discusses the Georgia Tax Tribunal, which was created by an act of the Georgia General Assembly during the 2012 legislative session in order to establish “an independent specialized agency separate and apart from the Department of Revenue to resolve disputes between the department and taxpayers in an efficient and cost-effective manner.”
