Upcoming Changes to Taxes in Alabama and Tennessee Set to Take Effect in the New Year

Starting on January 1, 2025, Tennessee will expand its alternative fuels tax legislation to encompass hydrogen gas, as outlined in Senate Bill 2307. This new provision means that hydrogen gas will be exempt from sales and use taxes, although it will still incur a tax of 21 cents per gallon specifically designated for alternative fuels.

In a related development, Alabama has introduced a temporary occupancy tax aimed at lodging and accommodations, which will affect most short-term residents, including tourists. This tax took effect on October 1, 2024. Furthermore, beginning on January 1, 2025, intermediaries that facilitate these accommodation transactions will also be subject to this tax, as stipulated in SB150, known as the Alabama Tourism Tax Protection Act.
