Special session concluded Friday
SUMMARY: Louisiana has concluded a historic tax reform session, with lawmakers passing Governor Jeff Landry’s tax package. This measure will reduce individual income taxes by over $1 billion while raising the sales tax to 5% to offset lost revenue, generating an additional $845 million. Royce Duplessis was the only senator to oppose the bill. While the session aimed to achieve broader tax goals, some initiatives were left unaddressed. Notably, the new tax measures will include taxes on digital services and goods, such as streaming services. The reforms aim to align Louisiana’s tax system with neighboring states and enhance competitiveness.
