Georgia’s Revenue Service recently published a new audit revealing that 147 construction companies failed to comply with labor registration requirements, leaving 566 workers off the official employment register.
The inspections were conducted in July 2025 by the agency’s Tax Monitoring Department and targeted 589 companies in the construction sector. The investigation aimed to verify whether businesses had properly submitted employment data to the state-mandated Register of Employed Persons.
The Revenue Service disclosed that companies found in violation were sanctioned under the Tax Code of Georgia. The agency warned that failing to register employees not only breaks labor laws, but also increases the risk of tax evasion and undermines market transparency.
“Employers must register each employee immediately after signing a contract,” the agency emphasized, citing Article 12 of the Tax Code. Authorities reiterated their commitment to ongoing monitoring and enforcement to promote fair labor practices across the country.
