Lawmakers wrap special session, send tax reform bills to Landy’s desk | Louisiana
SUMMARY: The Louisiana Legislature has approved a significant tax package that revamps the state’s tax system, introducing major income tax cuts alongside higher sales taxes and the elimination of numerous tax breaks to balance the budget. Key changes include reducing income tax by $1.3 billion per year and raising sales tax from 4.45% to 5%, effective January 2025. The corporate tax rate will also drop from 7.5% to 5.5%. While Democrats raised concerns about shifting tax burdens, proponents argue these reforms will enhance Louisiana’s economic appeal. The package now awaits Governor Landry’s approval, with promises to ensure funding for key infrastructure projects.
