class=\"wp-block-heading\">Louisiana Sales Tax At a Glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>State rate:<\/strong> 5%<br><strong>Maximum combined rate:<\/strong> 12.625%<br><strong>Sourcing:<\/strong> Destination<br><strong>Tax Holidays:<\/strong> Second Amendment<br><strong>Governing Body:<\/strong> Louisiana Department of Revenue<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether your business is based in Louisiana or you just sell to customers who live there, it\u2019s important to understand the state\u2019s sales tax laws to ensure you\u2019re fully compliant. Whether you need to collect sales tax in Louisiana depends on a number of factors, including the type of product or service you sell and how significant of a physical presence you have in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Louisiana Sales Tax Rates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A different state tax rate applies to certain items sold or rented in Louisiana as well. For instance, the rental of automobiles for less than 29 days is taxed at a rate of 3%, with 2.5% going towards state sales tax and 0.5% allocated as a local tax. The New Orleans Exhibition Hall Authority tax is another example of a specialized kind of sales tax that applies only to food service establishments serving food in Orleans Parish or at the New Orleans International Airport. It must be collected at a rate of 0.5% or 0.75% based on the business&#8217;s total revenue from the previous year, and it\u2019s added to the total sales tax rate for the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sales Tax Nexus in Louisiana<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You only need to collect sales tax in Louisiana if you have a significant presence, or nexus, there. This is true of most states, although the precise definition of a nexus can vary from one state to another. In Louisiana, you are considered to have a nexus if you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sell, rent, or lease tangible personal property in the state<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide taxable services within the state<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Store property in the state for resale, lease, or rental<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have a physical office or store in the state<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employ a full- or part-time salesperson or agent who operates in the state<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deliver goods to customers in the state using your vehicle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In many states, using Amazon fulfillment services to deliver your goods creates a nexus for you if your product is stored in a warehouse in that state. The building of several new fulfillment centers in Louisiana in the last five years impacts sales tax for those using fulfillment by Amazon.<br>Economic nexus was established in Louisiana in May 2020, with thresholds of $100,000 per year in gross revenue or 200 transactions in the previous calendar year requiring remote sellers to collect and remit sales tax. In August of 2023, the transaction limit was removed. The current threshold is simply $100,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a nexus, the rate you will collect from your customers depends on the destination location of the product. If you have a physical store, you will charge the rate applicable at that location. If you\u2019re shipping products to customers in Louisiana, however, you will have to collect at the rate in effect at the delivery address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Taxable in Louisiana?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a nexus in Louisiana, you next need to determine if what you are selling is taxable. Most sales of tangible personal property are taxable in Louisiana, as are a number of services. These services include the furnishing of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Admission or access to amusement, recreation, entertainment, athletic facilities or events<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rooms by hotels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parking or storage of vehicles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Printing and overprinting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cold-storage space<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repairs of tangible personal property<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Laundry, pressing, dyeing, and cleaning services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Telecommunications services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Medications and groceries are exempt from sales tax in Louisiana, and this includes all foods and beverages that are intended to be prepared and consumed in the home. However, some prepared meals are exempt from sales tax if furnished to patients, inmates, students, or educational, religious, medical, or mental institution staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Louisiana Tax Holidays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Louisiana has a &#8220;second amendment&#8221; sales tax holiday on qualifying firearms, hunting supplies, and ammunition. It usually occurs in September of each year. During this holiday, purchasers are not charged sales tax on qualifying items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Louisiana Sales Tax Registration and Filing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to collect and remit sales tax in Louisiana, you need to register with the state and obtain a sales tax certificate. Business registration can be done online through the Louisiana Department of Revenue website, and there is no registration fee. You will need to obtain a federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) to register, and you should complete your registration process before making any taxable sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you register, the Department of Revenue will assign you a filing frequency based on the volume of taxable sales you expect to make. In general, smaller businesses will have to file sales tax returns quarterly, while larger, higher-volume businesses will be required to file and pay monthly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Louisiana Sales Tax Due Dates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you file and pay your Louisiana state sales tax returns quarterly, they will be due on the 20<sup>th<\/sup> of the month following the close of the reporting period, as outlined below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><th>Period<\/th><th>Due Date<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>January \u2013 March (Q1)<\/td><td>April 20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>April \u2013 June (Q2)<\/td><td>July 20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>July \u2013 September (Q3)<\/td><td>October 20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>October \u2013 December (Q4)<\/td><td>January 20<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When filing monthly, your returns and payments will be due on the 20<sup>th<\/sup> of the following month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><th>Period<\/th><th>Due Date<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>January<\/td><td>February 20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>February<\/td><td>March 20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>March<\/td><td>April 20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>April<\/td><td>May 20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>May<\/td><td>June 20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>June<\/td><td>July 20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>July<\/td><td>August 20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>August<\/td><td>September 20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>September<\/td><td>October 20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>October<\/td><td>November 20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>November<\/td><td>December 20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>December<\/td><td>January 20<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For instances in which a due date falls on a weekend or a holiday, returns and payments will be due on the next business day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Penalties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Failure to file and pay your Louisiana state sales taxes on time once you\u2019ve received your sales tax certificate from the state will incur a penalty of 5% of the tax due for each month it\u2019s late, up to a maximum of 25%. Interest will also be added to your total due, with the current rate at 0.9375% per month. The rates for previous years can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/dam.ldr.la.gov\/taxforms\/1111(1_25)%20-%20D3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>. In addition, a negligence penalty may be assessed, along with an examination fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/revenue.louisiana.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Louisiana Department of Revenue<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/revenue.louisiana.gov\/tax-education-and-faqs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Frequently Asked Questions \u2013 Louisiana Department of Revenue<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/revenue.louisiana.gov\/businesses\/sales-taxes\/general-sales-use-tax\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">General Sales and Use Tax \u2013 Louisiana Department of Revenue<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Louisiana Sales Tax Software<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many factors impacting when you need to collect sales tax from your Louisiana customers and at what rate, you must stay on top of things to ensure you\u2019re always compliant with local tax rules and regulations. This is compounded by the fact that rates and other elements of state sales tax laws can change at any time, and so you need to keep up to date with those changes as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenges of staying on top of all of this are compounded further if you do business in more than one state, so it can be very helpful to have software designed to help you in these situations. TaxTools is just such a program, and its ability to track changes to local sales tax rates, provide up-to-date information on sales and payments, and organize data separately for each state you make sales in will greatly streamline your accounting processes.
