La. Revenue and Taxation § 47:3201

Current with operative changes from the 2024 Third Special Legislative Session

Section 47:3201 - Purpose

It is recognized as essential to the continued growth and development of the state of Louisiana and to the continued prosperity and welfare of the people of the state that new and existing manufacturing industries, new and existing headquarters, or new and existing warehousing and distribution establishments be encouraged to locate and remain in the state. It is also recognized that many manufacturing establishments, headquarters, or warehousing and distribution establishments which might otherwise locate or remain in Louisiana locate or move to other states because of the lower taxes imposed by such other states. It is the purpose of this Chapter to encourage the establishment and retention of manufacturing establishments, headquarters, or warehousing and distribution establishments in Louisiana by providing a procedure whereby the total state and local taxes imposed upon such establishments may be reduced, after all other tax incentives for specific sites are applied, to the levels imposed by other competing states.
