House Committee OKs Bill Reducing Costs and Paperwork for Small Businesses

The House Ways and Means Committee has approved a measure that would spare small businesses collecting less than $20,000 a month in sales taxes from making estimated monthly tax payments to the state. If passed by the full legislature and signed into law, House Bill 77 would reduce costs and paperwork for over 3,000 small businesses statewide, NFIB State Director Rosemary Elebash said. Currently, every business that collects at least $5,000 a month in sales taxes on average is required to make estimated monthly tax payments to the state Department of Revenue. HB77, sponsored by Rep. Danny Garrett (Trussville) would raise that threshold to $20,000. Elebash told Alabama Daily News, “This is one of those check-mark items that I think adds in the column of making Alabama more business-friendly.”
