Louisiana Requires Combined State and Local Sales Tax Return Filing per Location Starting October 2025

  • Louisiana is launching a combined state and local sales tax return via Parish E-File, effective for October 2025 filings (due November 20, 2025).
  • Sellers must file one return per physical location, reporting both state and local sales tax together, using a new Master Location Number.
  • All state and parish accounts must switch to monthly filing frequency; old forms and formats are being retired.
  • This change affects retailers, restaurants, online sellers shipping from Louisiana, accountants, and all Parish E-File users.
  • Sellers must ensure all prior returns (through September 2025) are filed under the old system and update their account setups to comply.
