Sales tax on clothing in Atlanta
Georgia taxes retail sales of goods, clothing included, at a state rate of 4%. County taxes are added on top, and when the customer takes delivery in the City of Atlanta, a city sales tax applies as well. The Georgia Department of Revenue's rate chart for January 2026 lists a combined 8.9% for Atlanta, in both its Fulton and DeKalb County parts. The chart is updated every quarter, so check the current one.
Buying stock tax-free with Form ST-5
When you buy clothing to resell, you can avoid paying sales tax on it by giving your supplier Georgia's Form ST-5, the Sales Tax Certificate of Exemption, marked for purchases for resale. You need a Georgia sales and use tax number to use it, so register with the Department of Revenue before you start selling.
