Can retailers elect not to participate in the sales tax holiday and collect the sales tax from their customers on eligible items during the sales tax holiday period?
A. No. No dealer may legally collect Georgia sales tax on a covered item sold during the exemption period. Customers should take their receipt to the dealer who charged Georgia Sales Tax and ask for a refund of the tax. Should the dealer refuse to make the refund, please contact the Department of Revenue at (404) 417-6601 for further instructions. Please note that any dealer that erroneously collects tax on exempt items during the exempt period must remit it to the State.
