Abstract:  Provides relative to state and local sales and use taxes, exemptions and
exclusions from such taxes, levies of state sales and use taxes, items and services to

R.S. 47:321.1.......0.45%
R.S. 47:331.......0.97%
R.S. 51:1286.......0.03%
Proposed law repeals the 0.45% levy provided in present law (R.S. 47:321.1) and imposes
a new state sales and use tax levy of 2.25%.  Proposed law imposes the new levy

Present law defines "dealer", for purposes of state and local sales and use taxes, to include
every person who manufactures or produces tangible personal property for sale at retail, for
use, or consumption, or distribution, or for storage to be used or consumed in a taxing
jurisdiction.  Proposed law amends present law to include within the definition of "dealer"
every person who delivers any specified digital product into this state for sale at retail, for
use, or consumption, or distribution, or for storage to be used or consumed in a taxing
jurisdiction.
Present law subjects sales of services to state and local sales and use taxes.  Defines "sales
of services" to include an enumerated list of services.  Proposed law adds the following into
the "sales of services" definition, thereby making these services taxable:
(1)The sale of any subscription which allows electronic access to any computer
software or specified digital product.

Proposed law repeals the following provisions of present law establishing the following state
sales tax holidays (dates on which purchases of certain items are exempt from state sales
tax):
(1)The Annual Louisiana Sales Tax Holidays Act (R.S. 47:305.54).
(2)The annual sales tax holiday for purchases of hurricane-preparedness items or
supplies (R.S. 47:305.58).
Proposed law amends present law providing for the Annual Louisiana Second Amendment
Weekend Holiday Act (R.S. 47:305.62) to stipulate that the sales tax exemption provided
therein shall apply only to local sales taxes and not to the state sales tax.
Present law stipulates that in order to be classified as bona fide agricultural, horticultural,
marsh, or timber land and assessed for ad valorem tax purposes at its use value instead of
fair market value, a parcel of land must be at least three acres in size or have produced an
average gross annual income of at least $2,000 in one or more of the designated
classifications for the previous four years.
Proposed law removes marsh lands from the set of lands qualifying for assessment based on
use value and changes the minimum acreage necessary for land to qualify for assessment
based on use value from three acres to ten acres.  Otherwise, retains present law.
