Can I use an out-of-state sales tax license to purchase tax-free in Alabama?

Yes. In accordance with Rule 810-6-1-.144.03: All buyers of property for resale purposes are entitled to purchase at wholesale, tax-free, the property they resell as regular course of business when they have secured the sales tax license required by law. This rule also applies to retailers located outside Alabama when they have secured the sales tax license required by law in the state in which they are located.

Yes, a County Fuel Tax Account is needed if fuel is delivered into Bullock County, Cherokee County, Jackson County, Lowndes County, or Marshall County. If fuel is delivered into Cullman County, the Cullman County Gas Tax Account is needed. These counties can be included on the Motor Fuel Single Point template, or they can be filed directly through the CFT or CCG accounts in My Alabama Taxes, but not both. If a Motor Fuel Single Point template is uploaded that includes one of these counties and the appropriate account is not obtained, it will cause an error.
