BATON ROUGE – Beginning January 2025, the Louisiana Department of Revenue will cease printing and mailing copies of the Louisiana state sales tax return to businesses registered for sales tax in the state. The change will save taxpayers more than $100,000 per year in printing and mailing costs.

Starting in January 2025, businesses will have three methods to submit state sales tax returns and payments:

• File and pay electronically through the Louisiana Taxpayer Access Point (LaTAP) account management portal at www.revenue.louisiana.gov/LaTAP. File returns, make payments, and view account history and activity online.
• File and pay electronically through Parish E-File, the online portal for the secure filing of state and parish and city sales and use tax returns. Parish E-File also permits the filing of multiple parish/city returns from one centralized site.
• Download a printed copy of the state sales tax return from www.revenue.louisiana.gov/Forms. 

The timely filing of Louisiana state sales tax returns and the remittance of sales taxes due the state remain the sole responsibility of the taxpayer. Failure to comply can result in interest and penalties.
