Code of Alabama — Title 40 (Revenue and Taxation)
Ala. Code § 40-13-58
Disposition of Funds
# (a)
All revenues collected from the tax levied pursuant to this article, less an amount to cover the expenses of administration and collection and one-half of all interest and penalties collected, as provided in subsection (b) of Section 40-13-57, shall be remitted quarterly to the governing body of the county from which the severed material was severed within 60 days following the end of a calendar quarter along with a report prepared by the department detailing how the amount remitted was determined. Notwithstanding the above, the aggregate amount retained by the department to defray the expenses described herein shall not exceed 1.5 percent of the total revenues collected during such calendar quarter and shall be credited to its current service revenue.
# (b)
The revenues remitted to a county as provided in subsection (a) shall be deposited into a fund held and dispensed by the county commission and designated as the severed material severance tax fund. At least 75 percent of such funds shall be allocated and utilized by the county for the construction, maintenance, and repair of the county’s road system or, if provided by local legislation, for a local economic development authority, public transit, construction and maintenance of county roads and bridges, or the reclamation of lands where natural materials have been severed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, revenues distributed to Franklin County as provided in subsection (a) shall be allocated and utilized exclusively for economic development. Twenty-five percent of the funds distributed to a county as a result of the severance of materials from within the corporate limits of a municipality in the county shall be expended by the county on county roads or other projects authorized by this article within the corporate limits of that municipality.
# (c)
Revenues collected by the tax imposed by this article shall be remitted back to the county from which the severed material was originally produced based on total tons severed in such county subject to the severance tax multiplied by the rate of tax, less sums due the department, as provided in subsection (a), based on forms submitted to the department from the operator or producer.
# (d)
Any adjustment of taxes, interest, or penalties which is necessary to adjust any error in the calculation, collection, or disbursement may be made at a subsequent collection or disbursement.
