State and local governments in Louisiana require many businesses to acquire licensing before starting operations. Some cities require an occupational license for the privilege of doing business in a jurisdiction. Businesses may also need to register with the Louisiana Secretary of State and Department of Revenue
Contact CT Corporation for a free consultation.
In Louisiana, it is important to understand all licensing obligations before doing business in the state. An occupational or general business license may be required in each city or parish where business is conducted. Before the license can be granted, many businesses must meet both local, state, and federal requirements. To learn more about the specific registration and licensing requirements in Louisiana, click on the Louisiana parish tab for more information or to order the proper forms.
For more information, please contact CT Corporation for a consultation with a business licensing specialist.
According to the Louisiana Department of Revenue, a seller or lessor must obtain a Louisiana sales tax certificate if they lease, rent, or sell tangible personal property in the state. This generally applies regardless of the business being a for-profit corporation or a nonprofit corporation.
Certain specific types of nonprofits are exempt from paying sales tax by statute. If your nonprofit does not fall under the statutorily exempt category, you will simply register for a sales tax ID just as any other business in Louisiana. You can do this by submitting an Application for Louisiana Revenue Account Number. Please contact CT Corporation to consult a licensing specialist.
