Alabama and federal rules for small business websites

Some homework before launch:

• Selling to customers in other states? Each state sets its own threshold for remote sellers; Alabama’s is $250,000 of retail sales into Alabama in the previous calendar year (Simplified Sellers Use Tax program; flat 8% rate). Official source
• Alabama’s state sales and use tax rate on general merchandise is 4%, with a reduced 2% rate on food and groceries since September 1, 2025; cities and counties add their own rates. Alabama Department of Revenue
• Alabama business privilege licenses are issued at county level; the state Department of Revenue coordinates state and county business privilege licenses, and the county probate office issues them. In Holly Pond, that means asking Cullman County and the Town of Holly Pond. Official source
