MONTGOMERY — The Alabama Senate passed a one-cent grocery sales tax cut on Tuesday.
House Bill 386 by State Rep. Danny Garrett (R-Trussville) cuts the state's grocery tax by an additional 1%, bringing the total reduction to 2% since 2023.
The bill passed the Senate unanimously with a technical amendment. The House also concurred on the amended version on Tuesday. The bill now heads to Gov. Kay Ivey for her consideration.
"Alabamians deserve every break we can give. Senate Republicans are keeping our promise to deliver tax relief to hardworking families. Today, we took action to cut taxes and help every Alabamian hold on to more of their hard-earned money,” members of the Alabama Senate Republican Caucus said on Tuesday in a statement. “Thanks to fiscally responsible, Republican leadership, families across our state will now pay less every time they check out at the grocery store as we double down on the largest tax cut in state history—the grocery tax cut— and save more on everyday essentials.”
