The cigarette tax will be collected by affixing a Russell County revenue stamp. Taxpayers will be notified when the cigarette tax stamps are available for purchase from ALDOR. Until Russell County revenue stamps become available, cigarette tax must be remitted on the monthly county tobacco tax return via My Alabama Taxes (https://myalabamataxes.alabama.gov/_/).
Please ensure that the person responsible for preparing the monthly county tobacco tax returns receives this notice.
