I'm the bookkeeper for a company that sells toys both in a store in Mobile, Alabama as well as online. Should we be collecting sales tax for clients located in Alabama and other states?

Any sales made to clients from Alabama are subject to sales tax similar to in store purchases. However, the local sales tax in Mobile is 4.5%. This would be in addition to the 4% Alabama state tax and the 1.5% Mobile county tax. Any sales made over the internet to a client located in another state are not subject to Alabama sales tax.
