This fricking state, I swear.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - Hopefully, you had a chance to enjoy that recent boost in your paycheck because it could be over already.

The Louisiana Department of Revenue reported Thursday that it has updated the state’s income tax withholding tables to compensate for changes in the federal tax law passed last year, meaning the state will take more tax money out of your check.

According to the Louisiana Constitution, when federal taxes go down, state income taxes automatically go up. Officials with LDR said they have issued an emergency rule to make sure employers are withholding the right amount of state income taxes from their workers’ paychecks.

The updated withholdings took effect Friday.

Brilliant, especially with a neighbor that has no state income taxes.

It's not JBE, but the state constitution.

It's mandated by the LA constitution Einstein. Blame the people that wrote it in 73.

Is it that withholding goes up or the actual tax RATE?

So, it’s frickery either way. I’m just wondering if the actual taxes owed is increased

Probably just withholding because LA taxes use the federal Adjusted Gross Income as a starting point for taxable income.
