Exhibitors at Georgia trade shows must:

• Register for a Georgia Sales Tax Certificate.

• Collect sales tax on taxable sales at a 4% state rate plus local rates up to 8%.

• File sales tax returns based on their assigned frequency.

• Maintain detailed sales records for compliance and audits.

• Ensure temporary vendors comply with all sales tax rules to avoid penalties.

Accurate record-keeping and timely remittance are essential to meet Georgia’s sales tax obligations during trade shows.
