What Alabama asks of a business with a website

These are some of the Alabama and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• 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 Langston, that means asking Jackson County and the Town of Langston. Official source
• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Alabama sales tax once they reach the state threshold: $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
