A Walmart spokesperson confirmed the error in a statement on Friday afternoon
“Earlier today, some Walmart customers and Sam’s Club members across Alabama were incorrectly overcharged sales tax while shopping with us. Effective Sept. 1, the sales tax rate on food decreased by one percentage point statewide. Our systems mistakenly charged both the old rate and the new rate at the time of sale.
The situation is being corrected, and we’re asking potentially impacted customers to take their receipts to their nearby stores or clubs for a refund of the higher sales tax.” Customers are asked to take receipts to a nearby Walmart location for a refund of the higher tax amount.Copyright 2023 WAFF.
