Rate Adjustment
According to Code Section 9-13-110, Code of Alabama 1975, as amended, if the forest products tax collections for fiscal year ending 2018 are less than the forest products tax collections for fiscal year 2017, a one-time rate adjustment is to be calculated. The Department has reviewed the collections and determined that a rate increase will not be necessary. Accordingly, the forest products severance tax rates will remain the same.
