Alabama Tax Laws

This section covers the basics of paying taxes in Alabama, including sales tax on retail purchases and so-called "sin" taxes on consumer items considered to be a liability to society in general, such as cigarettes, gasoline, and alcoholic beverages. Alabama also collects personal income tax, which is due in mid-April along with federal income tax.
