Montgomery, Ala. — Alabama’s grocery tax holiday is now in effect, giving shoppers a break at the register through the end of June.
Governor Kay Ivey previously signed the legislation creating the two-month tax relief, which removes the state’s portion of the grocery tax for May and June.
“When we can cut taxes in Alabama and provide some relief to the hardworking people of this state, I am all for it,” Ivey said. “This two-month holiday on the state grocery tax will provide direct relief, and I am grateful to Rep. James Lomax and Sen. Arthur Orr for sponsoring the legislation to make that possible.”
The law, House Bill 527, also includes an income tax deduction of up to $1,000 for qualified overtime pay.
State leaders say the tax holiday is part of ongoing efforts to reduce the cost of living for Alabama families.
