On Friday, the Marshall County Commission approved a resolution to intervene in a lawsuit against the Alabama Department of Revenue initiated by the City of Tuscaloosa over the state’s Simplified Sellers Use Tax.

Members of the Montgomery City Council unanimously voted to join a lawsuit brought by Tuscaloosa against the State of Alabama over its online sales tax law. 

The Marshall County Commission is fighting to keep its fair share of Alabama’s Simple Sellers Use Tax following an effort led by several larger cities to change the law in their favor.

Mayors from across the state of Alabama continued pushing for changes to Alabama’s online sales tax law after a meeting in Tuscaloosa on Monday.

It might be one of the slowest times in the news, but that is not stopping at least two of Alabama's Big 10 Mayors from going on offense to raise the internet sales tax.

On Wednesday, the House Ways and Means Education Committee approved a bill to raise the state's online sales tax from 8% to 9.3%, matching the current average sales tax.
