sales tax

Advocacy groups in Alabama are urging the public to contact local lawmakers over the continuation of the state sales tax on groceries. This is due to the law having a stipulation that Alabama’s education revenue must increase to offset losses for the deduction to be activated.

A new law aimed at helping save money for shoppers across Alabama takes a step forward. Governor Kay Ivey signed legislation into law back in June that cuts the statewide 4% grocery tax in half. The legislation will reduce the tax to 3% on Sept. 1, 2023, and aims to reduce to 2% on Sept. 1, 2024.

Every member of the Alabama Senate on Thursday backed legislation to cut the state sales tax on groceries by half, as food bill relief emerges as a bipartisan issue for lawmakers in the face of rising prices.

In the face of soaring grocery prices, some Alabama lawmakers are pushing to remove the state sales tax on groceries. Alabama is one of only three states that tax groceries at the same rate as other purchases.
