Dear TaxMama,

This is a Georgia Sales & Use tax question about tax exempt agricultural Machinery.

Can I get a list of specific types of machinery and equipment for use on the farm in the production of livestock?

Machinery and equipment used to harvest farm crops for feed for livestock?

Machinery used directly in tilling soil or for animal husbandry?

I would also like a list of Off-road equipment and related attachments used exclusively in site preparation, planting, cultivating or harvesting of timber by persons primarily in growing or harvesting of timber. If this is not the right place to get this information and you know where is will you please send it to me.

Thank you,

Rudy

 

 

Dear Rudy,

Wherever did you get the idea that I know anything about farming equipment?

But if you want to know what's tax exempt, here's the Georgia Sales Tax Site:

Search through it to your heart's content.

If you can't find what you need, do something old-fashioned. Pick up the phone and call the agency. They'll be able to send you the list of tax-free equipment. Seeing the list might just give you the information you need.

If not, go ask a farmer - or rancher.

Although, to produce livestock, I didn't think you needed machines. Don't you just need male and female animals?

Best wishes,
