Bonedaddy’s of Lee Branch, LLC et. al. v. City of Birmingham – 192 So.3d 1151 (Ala. 2015) – Appeal of the trial court’s finding that the LLC and LLC member jointly and severally owed sales, business-license and occupational tax totaling $283,350.30. The Supreme Court found that a LLC member is not personally liable for business-license and occupational taxes owed by the LLC and the City’s failure to follow administrative procedures prior to suing the LLC member deprived the court of subject matter jurisdiction over sales tax. As such, the judgment against the LLC member individually was vacated.
