HB466 Summary

  • Establishes a factor presence nexus standard for Alabama income tax jurisdiction by adding Section 40-18-31.2 to the Alabama Code, determining when businesses and individuals are subject to state income tax.

  • Alabama residents, domiciliaries, and in-state organized businesses automatically have substantial nexus with the state; nonresident individuals and out-of-state businesses have nexus when property, payroll, or sales exceed specified thresholds.

  • Sets nexus thresholds at $50,000 of property, $50,000 of payroll, $500,000 of sales, or 25 percent of total property, payroll, or sales during the tax period.

  • Directs the commissioner to annually adjust thresholds based on cumulative Consumer Price Index changes of 5 percent or more since January 1, 2015, rounding adjustments to the nearest $1,000.

  • Preserves Public Law 86-272 protections for qualifying out-of-state businesses engaged solely in solicitation, preventing Alabama from imposing income tax on those protected taxpayers even if thresholds are exceeded.

  • Takes effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2014.
