Section 40-18-31.2, Code of Ala. 1975, creates the factor presence standard for business activity in the state to determine nexus for nonresident individuals and business entities that are doing business in this state. The section stipulates that the threshold amounts may be adjusted periodically consistent with the Consumer Price Index.

Nonresident individuals and business entities are deemed to have “substantial nexus” for the tax period in which they exceed the following thresholds for Alabama:

• 对于2015年1月1日至2018年12月31日的税收年度。
  • 50,000 美元的财产；
  • 50,000 美元的工资；
  • 500,000 美元的销售额；或
  • 财产总额、工资总额或销售总额的 25%。
• 对于2019年1月1日或之后开始的纳税年度。
  • 54,000 美元的财产；
  • 54 000 美元的工资；
  • 销售额 538,000 美元；或
  • 财产总额、工资总额或销售总额的 25%。
• For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2022:
  • $60,000 of property;
  • $60,000 of payroll;
  • $596,000 of sales; or
  • 财产总额、工资总额或销售总额的 25%。
• For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2023:
  • $64,000 of property;
  • $64,000 of payroll;
  • $635,000 of sales; or
  • 财产总额、工资总额或销售总额的 25%。

Individuals who are residents or business entities organized in Alabama or commercially domiciled in this state have substantial nexus in Alabama.

If a business entity’s (not organized or commercially domiciled in Alabama) activities do not exceed the standard of “mere solicitation of sales” that fall under the protection of PL 86-272, the factor presence nexus standards established for tax years beginning January 1, 2015, and after will not apply.
