New LA State Sales Tax
Posted on 1/3/25 at 4:40 pm
Posted on 1/3/25 at 4:40 pm
Did this new law these frickers managed to pass really double the sales tax for online purchases? I purchased this stuff from a local brick and mortar shop and they insisted on drop shipping to my house because it wasn't in stock. If I would have picked up the order in house would the LA special tax not apply?

That seems incorrect. I don't think the state sales tax doubled

I thought the new combined tax was 10.5%. State and Parish so that looks correct.

Yea one of those should be labeled parish tax and the other state tax
Total sales tax went up half a percent

he did, for corporations. now we are covering their % of taxes with our sales taxes.
The state’s new corporate income tax rate will be a flat 5.5%, reducing the highest tier from 7.5%. Landry had wanted a 3.5% flat rate.
Lawmakers repealed the 0.275% corporate franchise tax, a levy on businesses operating on the state worth more than $500 million in annual revenue that went to a state savings account. Republican lawmakers had decried the tax as an arbitrary penalty on business.
Gov. Jeff Landry’s recent tax overhaul will erase Louisiana’s budget deficit that was expected to be just shy of $600 million and threatened funding for health care services and higher education.

It went from 4.45% to 5%.
The “special tax” might be a parish/city combo component as a lot of tax software calculators in accounting systems don’t handle the multi-jurisdictional BS Louisiana has. They probably charge that rate and let the state figure out how to disburse the 5.5%.
5+5.5 is 10.5 which is about right.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I knew EBR has been over 10% combined for a while but this just looked fricky.

Income tax was lowered, your take-home pay should go up. Consumption tax is the fairest tax

Sales tax in BR went from 9.95 to 10.5.

It is. If you look at the purchase then the two tax amounts equal 10.5% of the purchase price.

Yeah, I just checked the receipt for the items I bought in store. It wasn't broken out like that but matched up. I still think our sales tax is out of control but this looks right. It was the wording of the taxes of stuff that is drop shipping that through me off.

Hilarious that this is being downvoted.
They cut the corporate tax $500 million dollars and tax revenue is still gonna go up. Who do you think is gonna pay the burden of that extra $500 million? Poor people? Food stamps? Who pays for those?

They’re downvoting you because you’re wrong. You’re correct on the corporate tax but they also cut individual income tax rates and increased the standard deduction.

The jackass wanted to lower income tax but raise other taxes to make up for it. This state is run by morons. One thing is certain, our politicians will frick us to help their own causes.

It's a net tax RAISE. How can anyone trumpet this as a good thing?

because they are stupid. they think they extra money is just gonna magically appear rather than coming from our pockets. it's a $1.1 billion dollar tax increase on civilians, there was a $600 million deficit and they reduced corporate taxes by $500 million and now they are projecting a surplus
