Of the $27.9 billion in taxes collected by Georgia in 2021, less than 0.1 percent, or $4.4 million, came from taxes on alcoholic beverages licenses, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Annual Survey of State Government Tax Collections (STC).

The STC survey includes five broad tax categories and up to 25 subcategories. Data is gathered from all 50 state governments and all dependent state-level entities.
