What is Louisiana consumer use tax?


The Louisiana consumer use tax is a transactional tax that is due when a purchaser buys taxable tangible personal property or taxable services online, by catalog, or through other remote means. If the purchaser buys taxable property or services and the remote retailer does not charge Louisiana state or local sales tax, the purchaser is obligated to pay consumer use tax to the Louisiana Department of Revenue (“Department”) if the property or service is delivered to an address within Louisiana.
