One Spot Information (Alabama)

You may have heard about Act 2012-279 creating the “One Spot: Central Point of Electronic Return & Remittance” system. This Act creates a central point of electronic return and remittance by taxpayers for sales/use and rental/lease taxes to Alabama’s cities and counties. The Act received final passage April 26, 2012, and has been signed by Governor Bentley.

Avenu supports this additional return and remittance option provided to taxpayers. As a leader in the local government tax electronic file and pay industry for more than 12 years, we have encouraged modernization of the return and remittance processes for local taxes.

What does this mean for you and your jurisdiction? With Avenu as your tax administrator, your jurisdiction should not feel any negative impact from this new legislation. There are no changes from this legislation that will affect the responsibilities of your local government. We will continue to provide you with the capability to effectively serve your taxpayers and efficiently collect your local taxes.

This Act does not include administration of local taxes; it simply creates a portal where taxpayers can remit to multiple jurisdictions. Avenu will continue to manage, on your behalf, the day-to-day functions such as tax administration, disbursement of funds, compliance, auditing, and taxpayer assistance. The 275+ cities and counties administered by Avenu will continue to receive the highest quality of tax administration services offered in Alabama.

If you have any questions concerning this Act or the administration of your taxes, please contact me. I would be happy to discuss this additional option for Alabama taxpayers.

Thank you,
