Purpose
Timber taxes are one of the major expenses every private forest landowner needs to take care of. Federal and state incentives are available to provide tax relief to qualified forest landowners. However, many of them continue to pay more than their fair share due to lack of knowledge on timber taxation. The recent tax reform added more complexity to it.
This course will provide basic information about forest-related federal income taxation and property taxes in Georgia. It will also give an update on the recent tax reform and how it affects your tax return for 2018.

Who Will Benefit?
Forest landowners, foresters, land managers, tax professionals, attorneys, and others who work with forest landowners in matters pertaining to timber taxes

Dr. Yanshu Li is an Assistant Professor of Timber Taxation and Forest Economics at the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, University of Georgia.
