Frequently asked questions about Louisiana sales tax nexus

When does economic nexus trigger in Louisiana?

Louisiana economic nexus triggers when a remote seller exceeds $100,000 in revenue or 200 transactions from Louisiana customers within a calendar year. Once triggered, the seller must register with the Louisiana Department of Revenue and begin collecting and remitting sales tax.

How long do I have to register after crossing nexus in Louisiana?

Louisiana requires sellers to register within 60 days of crossing the economic nexus threshold. Failing to register on time may result in back taxes, interest, and penalties assessed by the Louisiana Department of Revenue.

Do marketplace sales count toward Louisiana's nexus threshold?

Louisiana generally excludes marketplace-facilitated sales from the economic nexus threshold calculation, because the marketplace is responsible for collecting and remitting tax on those sales. Only direct sales from your own channels count toward the Louisiana threshold.

How often do I need to file sales tax returns in Louisiana?

Louisiana may adjust your frequency over time as your Louisiana sales volume becomes clearer. Check with the Louisiana Department of Revenue for your assigned frequency after you register.
