A New Tax Proposal That Could Benefit Georgia’s Small Businesses

Tuesday, January 20, 2026

Last week, Jon Ossoff discussed a new bipartisan bill aimed at reducing taxes for Georgia’s small businesses. The proposed Support Small Business Growth Act of 2025 is designed to help employers with fewer than 15 employees reinvest in their teams and communities. Watch The Details

What the Proposal Includes

If passed, the bill would introduce a new tax deduction tied to wages paid to employees. In short, businesses that invest in their workforce could see meaningful tax savings. The goal is to make it easier for small businesses to compete, grow, and create jobs.

What This Means for Business Owners

While the bill is still in the proposal stage, it signals continued momentum toward supporting small businesses through targeted tax relief. If enacted, proper payroll tracking, clean books, and proactive tax planning will be key to maximizing any available benefit.

Non-profit accounting comes with its own language, and some of the most common terms can also be the most confusing. Understanding the distinction between restricted and unrestricted funds is important for maintaining accurate records and ensuring transparency with donors, grantors, and board members.

Payroll runs in the background for many small businesses, but the reports behind it can offer valuable insight into your financial health and compliance. Taking time each quarter to review key payroll reports can help catch issues early, ensure accuracy, and give you a clearer picture of how payroll is impacting your business.

Hiring help is a big step for any small business, but deciding how to classify that help is just as important. The difference between treating someone as an independent contractor (1099) or an employee isn’t just administrative; it has real financial and compliance implications. And getting it wrong can be costly.
