The bill adds a penny to the state's already existing 4-cent sales tax. The hike was amended to end after 18 months. It would bring in an immediate $220 million.
The House also passed a bill designed to push sales tax collection from online companies with an offline presence in Louisiana.

This... There should be no federal or state taxes. Only 20-25% sales tax.

I'm not going to make a big deal out of it, but most people don't even know they're required by law to pay their state sales tax even though Amazon doesn't collect it. This is a PSA more than anything.

I can picture the reactions of a bunch of poors in a gas station bitching about a couple extra cents charged to their daily purchases.

I'm a whiny bitch for pointing out that you are still required by law to pay your sales tax on Amazon purchases?

According to the article, it is a one penny increase unless I missed something


It is a penny for every dollar spent. If I buy anything over like 2 bucks, it is more than a penny increase.

I'm now buying all of my stuff in Mississippi which is 7% versus paying 3% more in Louisiana. What a fricking joke these clowns are in Baton Rouge.
