Section I-1901 - General
A. Intent of Law. For qualifying manufacturing establishments, headquarters, or warehousing and distribution establishments, the Board of Commerce and Industry may enter into a contract to equalize the total tax burden in Louisiana to that of a competing site located in another state.
B. Description of the Program. The Tax Equalization Program is an inducement to attract, retain, and encourage the expansion of, manufacturing establishments, headquarters, and warehousing and distribution establishments to Louisiana, which would not do so in Louisiana due to a higher tax burden. This program is designed to eliminate the tax differential through the equalization of the overall taxes between a Louisiana site and a competing site in another state. The sites under consideration must be valid and viable for the proposed operations. The competing site must offer comparative advantages equal to or greater than the comparative advantages offered at the Louisiana site. The governor must extend a written invitation to the company authorizing the company to submit an application for this program.
