Georgia Private School Tax Credit

If you work in Georgia, you pay Georgia state income taxes!

You Can Direct Some of those Dollars to Veritas Academy!

In May of 2008 the Georgia Legislature passed HB 1133 which allows state income tax payers to take a tax credit for money designated to a qualified Georgia private school. You may designate ANY amount up to $2500 per couple, $1000 per individual, and a 75% corporate credit. In addition, this amount qualifies for a federal charitable contribution.
Everybody should participate!
 To sign up please contact the Veritas Office at 912-238-1222 or info@veritassavannah.org; John Childress at 912-704-6923 or ; or Will Brodmann at 912-232-0475 (particularly on corporate questions) You may also follow the directions on our Directions to Donate page.

How it works?

We have partnered with Apogee Georgia School Choice Scholarship Fund, a state approved Student Scholarship Organization (SSO), to enable the Veritas Academy community to take advantage of this program. With a donation to the Apogee Georgia School Choice Scholarship fund, a Georgia state income tax credit is available to you for the tax year the donation is made. Your donation can be used as a charitable contribution deduction on your Federal tax return.
