Georgia shifted tire-management fee remittance from retailers to distributors

Georgia changed responsibility for the $1 new-tire management fee on July 1, 2023. The fee is collected and remitted by the first distributor that sells a new replacement tire in Georgia, and many retail tire facilities that are not distributors no longer submit the prior quarterly fee reports and payments.

What to check

Tire sellers should confirm whether the business meets Georgia's distributor definition, make sure EPD registration reflects the correct business type, and use the current tire-fee reporting workflow.
