Sales Tax is tax levied on the retail sale of tangible personal property. Sales tax is also imposed on the gross receipts from conducting or operating places of amusement or entertainment.
Sales Tax is due either monthly, quarterly, or annually. The State of Alabama will determine your filing frequency when you register with them. Your filing frequency with the City of Tuscaloosa must match how you are set up with the state. Sales Tax is due by the 20th of the month following the period in which you are filing. Any Sales Tax paid after this date will accrue additional penalties and interest. You can pay your use tax online via My Alabama Taxesor by submitting the form available on our Forms Page.
