Louisiana
The Louisiana sales tax rate is currently 4.0%.
Other, local-level tax rates in the state of Louisiana are quite complex compared against local-level tax rates in other states. Louisiana sales tax may also be levied at the city/county/school/transportation and SPD (special purpose district) levels.
Louisiana was listed on Kiplinger’s 2011 10 tax-friendly states for retirees. Though sales taxes can be steep due to local parish and jurisdiction sales taxes, food and medications are exempt from sales taxes.
