If my penalty is waived, will the interest also be waived?


No. A waiver of penalties does not waive interest. Interest is imposed by Louisiana law and generally continues to accrue until the underlying tax liability has been paid in full. Even if your penalty waiver is approved, you remain responsible for any interest due unless otherwise authorized by law.
