Register a Business with Georgia Department of Labor
Businesses that meet certain qualifications must pay unemployment insurance taxes.
Many businesses in Georgia are liable for payment of unemployment insurance taxes to the Georgia Department of Labor, even if they don’t yet have employees. The Department of Labor has online tools to help you determine if you are liable and set up an account if you are.
You can access the Online Employer Tax Registration on the Department of Labor’s website. After you fill out your business information, you will receive a determination stating if you’re responsible for paying unemployment insurance taxes. If you are, you will receive instructions for setting up an account.
