Suppose you make retail sales in Louisiana that are subject to state sales tax, and your business is located within a taxing district. In that case, you’re generally required to collect district sales tax on those sales of tangible personal property. Louisiana has a complex tax landscape, with various districts, including parishes, cities, and special jurisdictions, each setting its own sales tax rates. This means the total tax due can vary significantly depending on where your business operates or where your customers are located.
Some areas impose combined state, county, and city fees. Out-of-state retailers making taxable transactions to customers in the town are required to collect and remit this combined fee percentage based on the destination of the goods. Failure to collect the appropriate district tax can result in penalties or audits, especially for remote sellers. Staying current with local rate changes is essential, as tax boundaries and rates are frequently updated. To simplify this, we offer a tax rate lookup tool that lets you search by address or ZIP code. It’s an easy way to ensure you’re applying the correct local tax rate on each sale, no matter where in Louisiana your customer resides.
