Steps
Determine eligibility as a remote seller without Alabama physical presence (or as a marketplace facilitator) wishing to collect the flat SSUT rate instead of destination-based local rates
Register for the program via 'Obtain a new tax account' on the My Alabama Taxes (MAT) portal
Collect and remit Alabama's flat Simplified Sellers Use Tax rate on taxable sales into the state, applying exemptions only when a valid resale/exemption certificate or direct-pay permit is presented
File the required monthly SSUT return and remit payment through MAT before the monthly due date
Retain proof of active program participation, since the flat SSUT rate applies only to sales made while enrolled
Known gotchas
SSUT is a single flat statewide rate used in lieu of Alabama's combined state/county/city use tax rates — combining it with standard local nexus registration for the same sales creates duplicate or conflicting filings
Sellers below the $250,000 small-seller threshold may still opt into the program, but the small-seller exception is set by DOR rule and can change
MAT filing is a web portal, not a published general-purpose REST API; high-volume sellers typically still need a certified service provider or custom integration since Alabama does not offer a public SSUT filing API
