The Alabama law that reduces the state tax on groceries from 4% to 3% is in effect Friday.
The one percent reduction in the state’s grocery tax will save shoppers several days worth of groceries over the course of the year.
“I’m very pleased that working Alabamians have begun to see relief at grocery store checkouts around the state today. A grocery tax cut has been talked about for decades, but the Alabama Legislature stepped up this year and made it happen through a bipartisan effort resulting in the largest tax cut in state history,” said Sen. Andrew Jones, R-District 10, who also sponsored the bill.
Next September, another one percent will come off the food tax if growth in the Education Trust Fund budget hits 3.5%. A total reduction is not included in the current law.
