Ala. Code § 45-10-244.33
The sales taxes authorized to be levied in Section 45-10-244.32 shall be due and payable in monthly installments on or before the twentieth day of the month next succeeding the months in which the tax accrues. All taxes levied in this subpart shall be paid to and collected by the State Department of Revenue at the same time and along with the collection of the state sales tax. On or prior to the due dates of the tax herein levied each person subject to such tax shall file with the State Department of Revenue a report or return in such form as may be prescribed by the department, setting forth, with respect to all sales and business transactions that are required to be used as a measure of the tax levied, a correct statement of the gross proceeds of all such sales and gross receipts of all such business transactions. Such report shall also include such other items of information pertinent to the tax and the amount thereof as the State Department of Revenue may require. Any person subject to the tax levied may defer reporting credit sales until after their collection, and in the event such person shall so defer reporting them, such person shall thereafter include in each monthly report all credit collections made during the month preceding, and shall pay the tax due thereon at the time of filing such report. All reports or returns filed with the State Department of Revenue under this section shall be available for inspection by the Cherokee County Commission, or its designated agent, at reasonable times during business hours.
