What this form is
Every business applying for a LaFayette occupation tax certificate must report its employee count and sign two sworn affidavits: a Private Employer Exemption Affidavit under O.C.G.A. §36-60-6(d) for employers with ten or fewer employees not enrolled in E-Verify, and a SAVE Affidavit under O.C.G.A. §50-36-1(e)(2) verifying the applicant's citizenship or lawful immigration status. Both affidavits must be executed under oath.
Who needs it
Any individual or business owner applying for or renewing a City of LaFayette business license (occupation tax certificate).
Why it needs a notary
Both the E-Verify exemption affidavit and the SAVE affidavit end with a 'SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN BEFORE ME' notary jurat block, so each must be signed in front of a notary.
