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

The recommended method is to submit the payment and documentation on the LATAP website. Visit https://latap.revenue.louisiana.gov/ and choose the Report Watercraft Purchase option under the Individuals section for a quick electronic submission.

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.

Note that the Louisiana Department of Revenue does not administer or collect sales tax for the parish. (Answer revised March 2, 2026)
