- Senate Bill 221 (SB 221) from Alabama’s 2026 Regular Session addresses sales and use tax calculations.
- The bill proposes to exclude credit and debit card transaction fees (“swipe fees” or convenience fees) from the taxable amount.
- Currently, these transaction fees are included in the sales and use tax base.
- If passed, sales tax would only apply to the price of goods and services, not the additional processing fees.
