Alabama has passed legislation that will impose a fee on construction companies. If you are an employer with wages paid to construction workers in Alabama and the total cost of the project is more than $50,000 then you are subject to the new fee. It is equal to nine one-hundredths of one percent (.0009) of the gross amount of wages paid quarterly.
The money will be used to fund the Alabama Construction Recruitment Institute. The report must be filed and paid quarterly through the Alabama Department of Revenue website. The fee was effective July 1, 2009. The first report will be due October 31, 2009.
