La. Bill Seeks Sales Tax Holiday In Response To Virus, Hurricane

Louisiana would create a two-day sales tax holiday as a response to the economic effects of the novel coronavirus pandemic and Hurricane Laura under a bill introduced in the state House of Representatives.

H.B. 26, which Rep. Clay Schexnayder, R-Gonzales, introduced Monday, would establish a sales tax holiday on Nov. 20 and Nov. 21 for the first $2,500 of the price of tangible personal property. The exemption would apply to each sale of tangible personal property except vehicles.
