LA Citizen's Insurance Rebates
The PJAL has received
information on how parishes and other public entities that do not file income
tax returns can obtain a rebate of the Citizen's Insurance assessments. Below
is an excerpt of information from Max Zimmer, with Casualty Insurance
Consultants, one of the people that helps the PJAL serve the interests of
parish government.
At a meeting with Clarissa Preston, Deputy Commissioner
Louisiana Department of Insurance, Office of Property and Casualty, I was told
the Louisiana Department of Revenue has made provision for “Louisiana
Public Entities”, NOT REQUIRED TO FILE A LOUISIANA CORPORATE INCOME TAX
RETURN, to request a refund. In a discussion with the Department of Revenue
this morning, I confirmed
I will also keep you informed of the efforts afoot to introduce
legislation to exempt public entity property policies from future assessments.
If there is a successful effort to get a bill sponsored in the next session, I
might need to get back with you to ask you to contact your local senators and
representatives for backing.
As always, thanks for your help in providing the local public entity insureds with the excellent service they deserve.
