More Details About Alabama Tax Rates and Exemptions

Alabama Playing Card Tax:

.10 Cents Per Deck

Wanna play some Texas Hold Em in the State of Alabama with your buddies? Well, when you go out to buy the playing cards, be prepared to pay a .10 cents for each deck that contains no more than 54 cards. Now, since every legit deck of cards has 52 regular playing cards and two Jokers, it would seem you won't get out of any store there without paying this tax.

Also, (pay close attention to this part) every legit deck includes a State Tax Stamp that is affixed to the package and supposedly it can only be removed with water or steam. So if you're found with a deck of playing cards that doesn't have that tax stamp, believe it or not, the cards can be confiscated as "contraband goods."

Property Tax

Tire Tax

Alabama Tire Tax:

$1.00 Per Tire

(They call this tax a “Fee” in Alabama.) The State of Alabama collects this "fee" from people who buy new tires from retail tire stores in Alabama.

Only federal, state, and local governing bodies are exempt from paying this fee. In order to qualify for the exemption, the organization must be part of the governing body.
