ACCA Executive Director discusses SSUT on latest Capitol Journal episode
As part of the County Family’s ongoing efforts to protect Alabama’s Simplified Sellers Use Tax (SSUT) process, ACCA Executive Director Sonny Brasfield recently appeared on Capitol Journal — a TV program closely followed by state lawmakers — to share the extensive, well-informed process that went in to creating today’s successful SSUT program. During the interview, Sonny clarified the program’s constitutional validity, addressed the complexities of Alabama’s tax structure and outlined why burdensome changes would conflict with the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2018 ruling on remote sales taxation. County leaders can watch the full interview by clicking here and jumping forward to 29:27.
