Referendum A, an initiative designed to bring Georgia more in line with the rest of the nation, is the only referendum on the state’s Nov. 2 ballot, and joins five proposed constitutional amendments.
If approved by the voters, the referendum would end the state property tax on business inventories.
The referendum officially reads: “Shall the act be approved which grants an exemption from state ad valorem taxation for inventory of a business?”
Georgia is currently one of six states that levies a property tax on business inventory.
