How Georgia vehicle taxes and fees are calculated
Georgia replaced traditional sales tax with the one-time TAVT of 6.6% of the DOR's assessed fair market value — NOT the negotiated sale price. If you sell below DOR value, buyers still pay tax on the higher assessed value. This is a frequent source of buyer confusion.
