Sales Tax
Exemption From Alabama State Sales Tax And Local Gross Receipts Taxes
Sales of personal property to the University, a unit of Alabama state government, are exempt from Alabama state sales tax under Section 40-23-4(a)(11) of the Code of Alabama 1975. The Alabama Department of Revenue has issued Sales and Use Tax Rule number 810-6-3-.69.02 as an interpretation of Section 40-23-4(a)(11). Since a specific exemption is provided by law, a certificate of exemption is not needed. Click here for a copy of a letter that may be given to vendors in lieu of a certificate of exemption.
A similar exemption is provided for the City of Mobile and Mobile County gross receipts taxes.
