Lulz. Louisiana, nickel and diming their residents any way they can.

This is going to be just like the DMV “fines” from license plates “not turned in” a few years back...a shite show

You need to have a system in place before , retroactive taxes always cause so much anger and confusion and leads to revolts. Especially because Louisiana in no way has its own records together so there will be errors all over the place in the bills and collection process.

To be fair, you always owed the taxes on these purchases. It's nothing new. They are just doing more to track this to avoid people underpaying.


I just look at it as, hey I got many years of online shopping done without having to worry about getting caught underpaying...and now the gig is up.

Yet one more reason people are leaving the state en masse

I imagine they will try to collect retroactive taxes only on those big spenders, mostly businesses. The timing makes me think this is a scare tactic to get people to report such purchases on their 2017 tax returns.

What is this difference if I drive Mississippi and buy something and bring it back to Louisiana or if I order it online and have it shipped? No damn difference. The taxes should go to the state from which I purchase it.


Not sure about individuals, but if a business buys goods out of state and brings them back to La, do they not owe a "use" tax?

Louisiana has required taxpayers to report their un-taxed online purchases on their state income tax returns for years.

It's not new nor is it retroactive.
