Know your next step.
Are the county and city rates filled in?
No. Alabama state rates are pre-filled for the categories you sell. You enter county and city places, their payees, and their rates.
Where does a police jurisdiction go?
Enter it as its own city place, then select the appropriate place on the customer record.
Does HQ file or pay for us?
No. HQ prepares the resale file and the amounts collected by place. You upload or paste the file to the state and pay the appropriate recipients.
Why can an export be held?
Required details must be complete first. For example, a customer without a sales tax number must be corrected before the resale file can be exported.
