## Selling into New Orleans: Louisiana rules

- **What's taxable:** At the state level, SaaS is taxable, clothing is taxable, groceries are exempt and digital goods are taxable.
- **Economic nexus:** Louisiana economic nexus applies once your gross revenue from retail sales into the state exceeds $100,000 in the current or immediately preceding calendar year. Physical presence creates nexus immediately.
- **Filing:** Louisiana returns are due the 20th of the month following the reporting period. Beginning with January 2026 periods (returns first available February 1, 2026), state and parish tax is reported on a single combined return rather than separate parish filings — a major simplification for multi-parish sellers.
