Officials say they've added more than 30 tax agents in the last few months.
The department’s top official, Bart Graham, says the extra personnel will cost over $2 million but will pay for itself within a few months.
Numbers from the state show thousands of businesses owe Georgia nearly $1 billion in taxes.
