Alabama sales tax overpayment doesn't announce itself. Unlike underpaying, which the state will eventually catch, overpaying just quietly drains a little money from you every invoice — and nothing ever tells you it happened.
Alabama has one of the most complicated local sales tax structures in the country — city, county, and police jurisdiction rates that vary block by block. Vendors get it wrong often, usually by charging a flat rate or going off your ZIP code instead of your exact address. When they charge too much, there's no letter, no notice, no flag on your return. The extra money just leaves your account and stays with the state. The only way to catch it is to look.
Sales tax recovery has existed for decades — but it's almost always sold to large manufacturers, multi-state retailers, and companies with dedicated tax departments. The firms that already do this kind of work only get paid if they succeed, but they usually take a large cut of whatever they find. Their process is built around companies with the size and staff to make that worth it.
A small Alabama business has the exact same problem — a vendor charging the wrong local rate doesn't care how big your company is — but has never been the customer these firms are built for. Nobody made getting your money back simple, affordable, or accessible for a business without a dedicated tax department. We built Reclaimt to close that gap.
