Taxes on the leasing or rental of tangible personal property in the State of Alabama are levied against the lessor of the property, not the lessee. However, the lessor has the legal right to pass the cost of the tax on to the lessee, either as included in the rental rate or as a separately stated charge. University-related entities are not exempt from payment of such charges. These charges should be paid per contractual obligation, and classified as part of the rental or lease expense.
