If you sell a Louisiana business, do you have to pay Louisiana state income taxes on the proceeds?

There is a LA law that allows you to exclude from your state income a portion of the capital gain related to the sale of a LA entity’s stock or substantially all of its assets. The percent of the gain that is excluded depends on how long you have held the stock. The exclusion used to be 100% of the gain but it is now a tiered exclusion based on how long the entity was owned. Google “Louisiana capital gain exclusion”. I believe this applies only to LA residents.

Depending on the structure of the entity and the number of years it has been in operation.

There is a step-up scale. LINK
