Section 45-23-241Sales and use tax for schools. (a) In order to provide funds for the benefit of public schools in Dale County, there is hereby levied in each separate school district in Dale County, and shall be assessed and collected in each separate school district, a sales and use tax generally paralleling the sales and use tax of the State of Alabama, which sales and use tax shall be in addition to any and all other county taxes heretofore or hereafter authorized by law in Dale County for school purposes. The sales and use tax so levied in each school district in Dale County shall be subject to all the exemptions and exclusions contained in the state sales and use tax, except that the rate thereof shall be one-fourth the rate of the state sales and use tax. (b) A tax shall be levied in each separate school district in Dale County but there may be excluded from the levy and collection of any tax, in whole or in part, in the discretion of its governing body, any sales or use which shall take place in any incorporated municipality in Dale County in which the general administration and supervision of public schools shall be vested in a city board of education. The governing body of any incorporated municipality may provide that the sales and use tax shall not be levied in the municipality by ordinance of the municipality placed on file with the Department of Revenue of the State of Alabama; but any such ordinance may be repealed or amended to provide that the sales and use tax shall again be levied, as a whole or in part, in any municipality. (c) All the proceeds from any tax levied pursuant to this section, less the costs of collection thereof, shall be paid to the board of education that is charged with the administration of public schools in the school district in Dale County in which any sale or use that is subject to the tax herein levied shall take place. (d) It is the intention of the Legislature that the sales and use tax herein levied shall be deemed a tax to be collected in each of the separate school districts in Dale County, and not in Dale County as a whole. The tax herein levied shall therefore be deemed a district tax as that term is used in Amendment No. 3 to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, and not a county tax, as that term is also used in Amendment No. 3. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, there shall not be levied hereunder any tax measured by gross receipts, except a sales or use tax which generally parallels, except for the rate of tax, that imposed by the state under applicable law.
