Louisiana Sales Tax Holiday August 7-8
The annual Louisiana State Sales Tax Holiday commences this Friday, August 7 at 12:01 AM through Saturday, August 8 at 12:00 AM. This holiday exempts any personal, non-business use purchase up to $2,500 from the 4% state sales tax. In Baton Rouge, this means that you’ll pay only the 5% local sales tax this weekend. This holiday is set by the legislature for the first consecutive Friday and Saturday in August in anticipation of the new school year. More specific information is available on the Louisiana Department of Revenue web site.
