Broader utility tax credits for hospital donors

Beginning January 1, 2026, donors can offset more Alabama utility taxes through unrestricted donations to eligible rural hospitals. The expanded tax list covers Chapter 21, Articles 3 and 4, and Sections 40-21-50, 40-21-51, and 40-21-53. The direct-pay permit process applies to utility tax payments under Articles 3 and 4. The program’s board now sits within the Alabama Department of Revenue instead of the State Treasurer’s office. The department replaces the Treasurer and board as rulemaker and must follow the Alabama Administrative Procedure Act.
