What is the sales tax rate in Louisiana?

Asked a year ago
The sales tax rate in Louisiana varies depending on the location. Generally, the state sales tax rate is 4.45%. However, additional local taxes may apply, making the total sales tax rate in some areas higher. Parishes (counties) in Louisiana have the authority to impose their own local sales taxes on top of the state rate. These local taxes can range from 1% to 7%. To determine the exact sales tax rate in a specific location, you can consult the Louisiana Department of Revenue's Parish E-File website or contact the local tax authority. It is essential to consider the combined state and local rates to accurately calculate the sales tax for any purchase made within Louisiana.
