The special session ended last week with several changes to Louisiana's tax structure, including an increase in sales taxes.

Louisiana lawmakers have finalized a sweeping overhaul of the state's tax system, passing a package of reforms aimed at reducing income taxes, increasing sales taxes, and scaling back or eliminating certain tax credits.

Louisiana lawmakers ended their third special session of the year on Friday with updates to the state's tax code that hand Gov. Jeff Landry a win while also changing how the state collects revenue to pay its bills.

Louisiana lawmakers passed a massive tax reform bill including changes to the state income tax and sales tax rates.

According to the Tax Foundation, Louisiana’s average combined local and state sales tax rate is 9.56 percent, the highest in the nation. Tax Foundation analyst Manesh Bhatt says there’s a chance lawmakers could eventually bring down that tax rate.
