Get Al Ex-a1 2023-2025

Tax-exempt customers Some customers are exempt from paying sales tax under Alabama law. Examples include government agencies, some nonprofit organizations, and merchants purchasing goods for resale. Sellers are required to collect a valid exemption or resale certificate from buyers to validate each exempt transaction.

In order to verify the authenticity of an exemption certificate, you can visit the My Alabama Taxes site and click “Verify an Exemption Certificate” on the right (due to the site format, we're unable to link more directly than that).

Nonprofit organizations, including charities, have no special exemption from Alabama sales and use taxes.

You must complete the appropriate application found on the website at .revenue.alabama.gov. The applicable form will be ST: EX-A1 (For Wholesalers, Manufacturers, and Other Product Based Exemptions) or ST: EX-A1-SE (For Statutorily Exempt Entities).

You may submit a new application or if you have an application on file with the department that is less than three years old and the information is still current, you may send an email request to stexemptionunit@revenue.alabama.gov to renew the certificate of exemption.
