The bills were signed into law by Governor Jeff Landry and a constitutional amendment will be on the ballot on March 29, 2025. Some of the highlights include eliminating the corporate franchise tax, replacing the marginal individual income tax rate with a flat 3% rate and a higher standard deduction, replacing the marginal corporate income tax rate with a flat 5.5% rate and a $20,000 standard deduction per corporate taxpayer, and increasing the state sales tax rate to 5%, to be reduced to 4.75% on January 1, 2030.
