Landry announces plans for tax reform special session | Louisiana
SUMMARY: Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry plans a special legislative session in November to reform the state‘s tax system, arguing that the current structure puts Louisiana at a competitive disadvantage. His proposed plan aims to reduce personal income taxes, eliminating them for incomes up to $12,500 and instituting a flat 3% rate for higher earners. The reforms would expand sales taxes to include more services, with Landry suggesting they would boost take-home pay and help close a $700 million budget shortfall. An independent analysis of the proposals is being conducted, as Louisiana faces challenges attracting businesses and residents due to its complex tax system.
