喬治亞州屬亞熱帶濕潤氣候,由於緯度的關係,並靠近墨西哥灣的暖水海洋,全年氣候宜人,夏天氣溫在27℃~35℃之間,冬天喬治亞北部會有少量降雪。年平均降水量為1270毫米。
佐州北部屬蘭嶺山脈,地勢較高,中部為彼得蒙山麓,地勢由西向西南逐漸降低,東南部為沿海平原。
喬治亞州有各種礦產資源(粘土、大型花崗岩、大理石、長石、金礦、重晶石、錳礦、鋁土礦、漂白土、瓷土、斑脫土、煤礦、藍晶石、石灰石、雲母石)、森林以及淡水資源。喬治亞州森林覆蓋面積達到10.36萬平方公里,該州在森林和木材的科研領域處於領先水平。佐州中部瓷土含量豐富,北部匹根斯縣是世界上主要的大理石產地之一。
喬治亞州州長由選舉產生,任期四年,可連選連任一次。副州長、州務卿、大法官以及農業、勞工、保險等部門長官均由選舉產生。州議會由參、眾兩院組成。兩院議員任期均為2年,可連選連任。佐州有參議員56人,眾議員180人、副州長任參議長。美國前總統卡特來自佐州。
州長:布萊恩·肯普(Brian Kemp),共和黨人。
直到18世紀末,喬治亞的發展一直都很緩慢。19世紀上半葉,以奴隸制和種植園為基礎的棉花種植業使佐州的經濟獲得迅速發展。20世紀20年代初,由於棉鈴蟲害襲擊佐州,使該州棉花種植業遭受致命打擊。二戰期間,佐州成為美國的步兵訓練營和飛機、軍艦等軍需品的供應基地,聯邦政府的巨額投資為佐州的經濟恢復和轉型提供了良機。戰後,佐州擺脫單一的農業經濟,逐步走向一個以工業為主、農業發達的多元化經濟。進入20世紀90年代,佐州發展加快。亞特蘭大地區成為該州發展的核心。
2012年GDP為4335.69億美元(同比增長2.1%),佔全美經濟總量的2.8%,居全美50個州第11位。15家《財富》500強企業總部位於佐州,包括:家得寶、UPS、可口可樂、達美航空等。
喬治亞州經濟發展署(GDEcD)是喬治亞州的官方宣傳機構,負責吸引新企業落戶,鼓勵本州大中小企業拓展業務,協調培訓企業所需的勞動力,為喬治亞企業開拓新的國際市場,並推動喬治亞州旅遊業的發展。同時,喬治亞州經濟發展署也致力於將喬治亞打造成為一個適合開發藝術、電影、音樂等項目的理想選擇地。經濟發展署還負責規劃以及協調州內資源來促進喬治亞州的經濟發展。
近十年來,這座“南方之都”積極向中國拓展,2007年在中國上海設立代表處,后在青島也設立辦公室,目前在喬治亞州落戶的中國企業包括海信集團、三一重工、經緯紡織、中國遠洋運輸集團等,森麒麟輪胎也剛於2016年九月宣布投資5.3億美元設廠。
紡織、運輸設備製造(飛機、船舶、轎車、卡車等)、食品加工、造紙等製造業是佐州第一大產業,其中紡織工業在佐州的經濟構成中佔有重要位置,該州生產的簇絨地毯佔全國總量一半以上,奧古斯塔、哥倫布、梅肯和羅馬是該州的紡織工業中心。汽車和飛機製造集中於大亞特蘭大地區,著名的軍用飛機製造商洛克希德·馬丁公司在馬瑞埃塔設有專廠,為美國空軍製造“大力神”運輸機和F-22戰鬥機。灣流飛機公司總部位於該州薩凡納市。通往大西洋的兩個深水港薩凡納和布倫斯威克是佐州的船舶製造基地。佐州還是美國主要的紙張、紙板產地之一。
佐州是美國的農業大州,農牧業在其經濟中占重要地位。全州約有5萬個農場。農副產品主要有肉雞、花生、山核桃、棉花、煙草、玉米、大豆等,其中肉雞、花生和山核桃產量居全國首位。佐州的食品加工業較發達,主要產品有軟飲料、冷凍蝦、花生醬等。佐州是美國的“桃樹之鄉”。
據美商務部統計,2012年,佐州對外貿易總額約1085億美元,其中出口約360億美元,同比增長3.7%,佔全美總出口額的2.3%。前五大出口市場依次為:加拿大(67億)、中國(37億)、墨西哥(23億)、新加坡(14億)、日本(13億)。出口額最大的產品依次為:運輸設備(86億)、機械設備(48億)、化工產品(35億)、紙製品(34億)、食品(26億)等。
喬治亞州一直憑藉其良好的商業環境、優秀的人才儲備以及世界一流的基礎實施等無以倫比的優勢,吸引著企業在此成功經營。特別是在亞特蘭大地區,由於有著很多年輕的專業人士,所以更具吸引力。喬治亞州在2011年CNBC全美經商環境排名中,位居第四。在《選址顧問調查》(Site Selection Consultants Survey》中也位居第四。此外,喬治亞州還建立了喬治亞創新中心來幫助那些創新型公司。
稅收環境:喬治亞州是美國實行“以總收入為單一標準計稅原則”(“single factor gross receipts ”)徵稅方法的十三個州之一。同時,喬治亞州也不像美國許多州都採用的所謂“對企業實施的營業稅追溯原則”(“throw back rule”),也就是銷售給外州的貨物或服務收入若未被當地州徵稅,則本州對此徵稅。
物流環境:喬治亞擁有高效的無縫連接的海陸空運輸和物流網路體系。同時,喬治亞州地處連接南北和東西的重要地理位置,人員和貨物可以很便捷地從喬治亞州通過海陸空運輸方式運送到美國各地、歐洲以及亞洲等地區。
勞工環境:喬治亞州的工人賠償金標準具有一定的優勢,平均說來,每支付100美元的工資,對於從事一線工作的工人而言,其中有2.73美元是用來保險,而對於辦公室的工人來講,其中只有0.24美元是用來保險的。
人才儲備:全美國只有四個州擁有2所或兩所以上全國排名前25的大學,喬治亞州就是其中之一。此外,喬治亞州擁有68所職業技能大學,可以為各類企業提供最好的人力資源。
營商成本:喬治亞州擁有優惠的稅收環境,具有競爭力的公共設施費和工資水平,這些優勢可以讓企業以更低的成本在此從事經營活動。
第一:單因素分配法
2005年,喬治亞州成為西南部第一個採用“單因素總收入分配法”的州。該方法僅將公司在州內的收入作為州所得稅的計稅因素。傳統的方法則將公司在州內的財產和工資均作為州所得稅的計稅因素。目前全美有13個州採用該方法。單因素法降低了開展跨州業務企業的實際稅率。此外,喬治亞州不使用所謂“反射法”,即若消費者所在州未徵收公司在該州銷售的所得稅、則公司所在州要予以徵收。
第二:公司稅抵免
包括就業稅收抵免、港口稅收抵免獎勵、高質量就業抵免、研發稅收抵免、大項目抵免、影視娛樂產業抵免、兒童保健抵免、工作機會稅收抵免等。喬治亞州將所有郡按發展水平分為四類(1類為最不發達,4類為最發達),在發展水平較低的郡投資可獲得更多的優惠。
1. 就業稅收抵免。該優惠適用於以下行業:製造業,包括但不限於製造太陽能、風能、電池、生物能源、生物燃料、電動車等新能源;倉儲物流;加工;電信;廣播;旅遊;研發;生物醫療;老年及殘障服務等。
2. 港口稅收抵免獎勵。該優惠適用於滿足就業稅收抵免或投資稅收抵免條件、使用喬治亞港口並在一年內進出口增加10%以上的企業。基期運輸量必須至少達到75噸、5個集裝箱或10個20尺標準箱。若基期達不到上述規模,計算增加幅度時亦按上述規模計算。該稅收抵免最多可用於抵免公司州所得稅的50%。未使用的抵免額度可結轉10年內使用。
