NEW ONLINE FILING RESOURCE

The Louisiana Department of Revenue has set up a new Web site that allows businesses to pay their sales taxes from one central online location. The site, called Parish E-File, began taking forms and payments on October 1, 2008.

No fees are required to use the site, which allows businesses to file and pay state sales taxes and local sales taxes for all 64 parishes.

Registration requires an email address, a bank account number and sales tax account numbers. The site is at https://parishe-file.revenue.louisiana.gov/.

In addition SalesTaxOnline (www.salestaxonline.com) is available for taxpayers to file sales tax returns online. Dealers must register in advance with SalesTaxOnline and BaileyLink to be able to file online. BaileyLink may be accessed by scrolling down and clicking on their link on our website. Both services are offered free of charge to all dealers.

Hotel-Motel Report Forms  

The Hotel-Motel Tax Report Forms Schedule A and Schedule B have been updated and made interactive. These PDF forms can now be accessed and the information entered in the correct spaces on-screen. The forms then must be printed out and mailed to our office, but the new interactive forms will allow taxpayers to complete the necessary information easily and legibly. The forms cannot be filed electronically but must be printed and mailed.
