Previously, the electronic reporting requirement applied to employers with more than 100 employees. More information about acceptable electronic filing methods is available in the Employer Portal. The Georgia 2022 SUI tax rates continue to range from 0.04% to 8.1%. New employers continue to pay at 2.64%. (Email response to inquiry, Georgia Department of Labor representative, 1-10-2022.) Employers pay an additional administrative assessment, which is noncertified for FUTA tax purposes. The surcharge rate is 0.06% for 2021 and 2022 on each employee's wages up to the $9,500 taxable wage base. The administrative assessment is shown separately on the quarterly contribution report.
