Tax Holiday Through Midnight On Hurricane Supplies In Alabama

February 24, 2013

A sales tax holiday on hurricane preparedness supplies continues through midnight Sunday in Alabama.

The severe weather preparedness sales tax holiday allows Alabama shoppers to stock up tax free on common supplies costing less than $60 that every home and business needs to prepare for a natural disaster or even a general emergency. Generators costing $1,000 or less also can be purchased free of the state’s four-percent sales tax.

Almost 190 city and county governments also have agreed to participate by waiving their sales tax, which means as much as 10 percent savings for consumers in some areas of the state. Atmore, Brewton, East Brewton and Escambia County are not participating, while Flomaton is waiving local sales tax in addition to the state’s four percent.

Alabama is one of three states with a severe weather preparedness sales tax holiday. Louisiana and Virginia hold their emergency preparedness sales tax holidays in May.
