Alabama Department of Revenue

On March 13, 2020, Governor Ivey declared a state of emergency in response to COVID-19, thereby allowing the Alabama Department of Revenue more flexibility in working with impacted taxpayers.

For small businesses, restaurants, and other food service businesses unable to pay their state sales taxes due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19), late payment penalties will be waived for taxes reported on returns filed for the February, March, and April 2020 reporting periods. Similar relief is being provided for state lodgings taxes due for these same periods. For more information about these businesses relief programs visit:
