The Southwest Georgia Project, Inc. (SWGAP) is pleased to conduct a free training on the  new Georgia Agriculture Tax Exemption (GATE)  program that offers qualified agriculture producers a sales tax exemption on agricultural equipment and production inputs starting January 1, 2013. This exemption allows farmers to save money and SWGAP is here to help complete your application at this Workshop!

The training is free but there is a $20 application fee that can be paid by VISA or MASTERCARD or by personal checking withdrawal. This must be paid at the time of application. You must know what (IRS) federal tax forms you currently file, as the application process will ask this! Bring your EIN number!

Applications are available now online at agr.georgia.gov.
