Two changes to report for state of Alabama sales tax effective 9/1/25.
1. Sales tax on groceries decreased from 3% to 2%. This is part of an ongoing push to eliminate state sales tax on groceries entirely. (Act 2025-305)
2. Exemption from state sales tax on certain baby and female items through 8/31/2028. The exemption applies to baby formula, baby bottles, baby wipes, breast milk pumping equipment, diapers, maternity clothing, and menstrual hygiene products. (Act 2025-304)

These 2 items only apply to state sales tax and do not effect county or local taxes.
