I know I owe sales tax. How do I get the money to the state when I send in Form R-1331?


If you are mailing in Form R-1331, you may include a check or cashier’s check for the amount of tax due.

If you are submitting Form R-1331 by fax or email, a notification of tax due will be sent to the purchaser and the payment may be remitted electronically or by payment voucher as instructed on the notice. The approved R-1331 will not be released until the payment has been fully processed and posted to the account.

LDR does not administer or collect sales tax for the parish. (Answer revised July 9, 2024)
