| LOCAL SALES TAX PORTAL UP AND RUNNING AT |
| www.parishe-file.com |
|
A provision of Act 73 of the 2003 Regular Session has finally been made operational. Act 73 enacted the Uniform Local Sales Tax Code or UTC. It created uniformity between most areas of State and local sales and use tax law. It also addressed an issue that business groups had been urging for years. Businesses had complained that doing business in multiple parishes meant keeping track of various local sales and use tax laws and rates and learning how to file each parishes sales and use tax form. The UTC made terminology uniform and required the LA Dept. of Revenue to create a uniform sales and use tax reporting form and a web-based portal to allow a simple single point of contact for business to file tax forms and remit both State and multiple local sales and use tax collections. The terminology has been in place since the Act took effect and the form was created shortly thereafter. Now the portal has been put into operation. Businesses can now login at www.parishe-file.com and file all needed forms, electronically, and arrange for the electronic transfer of the funds, thus eliminating all of the problems the business community has raised about Louisiana's having local collection of local sales and use taxes. This portal is the final piece of the UTC and eliminates all of the reasons for the Legislature to consider State-central collection of local sales and use taxes.
