In Alabama , rising pandemic-related online shopping has been a “life saver” for the state’s municipal governments and a “financial vaccine for Alabama’s counties,” the state said. The state’s SSUT has taken in more than $309 million overall during the current fiscal year – almost double the tax generated during all of fiscal 2018-19. The number of online retailers in the program has also grown from fewer than 200 in 2017 to more than 2,900 today.

Accountants and bookkeepers are responsible for recording, organizing, and analyzing your business transactions. Among these transactions, your dealings with banking institutions may be the most common one. Most accounting institutions recommend that businesses pay invoices and receive payments directly through their banks. Hence, for small business bookkeepers, your banking statement is one of the easiest ways they can gather information relating to your income, expenses, and cash flow.
