Louisiana will implement combined state and parish sales and use tax return effective January 1, 2026, for December sales taxes

  • A new combined state and local sales and use tax return in Louisiana will take effect on January 1, 2026, requiring taxpayers to register in advance and consider their filing frequency, which will likely become monthly for many.
  • Taxpayers must obtain a unique identification number from the Parish E-File (PEF) system, providing necessary documentation such as physical address, state, and local account numbers to ensure all local returns are linked to the state return.
  • To ensure accurate processing, taxpayers need to report gross receipts consistently across all accounts and must register in all relevant parishes before the January filing for December sales, as tax must be remitted in every parish where taxable transactions occur.
