Louisiana Sales Tax Overview

As of 2026, Louisiana has an average combined sales tax rate of 10.179%, with rates ranging from 5% to 13.5% depending on your specific location. The state's sales tax is administered by the Louisiana Department of Revenue. Louisiana parishes are known for having some of the highest combined rates in the nation. With 719 tracked jurisdictions, the actual rate you pay depends on a combination of state, county, and city-level taxes applied to your zip code.

The sales tax in Louisiana is composed of multiple layers. The state sets a base rate that applies uniformly across all jurisdictions. On top of this, individual counties and cities may add their own surcharges. This layered system means that the rate you pay can vary significantly even within the same state. For example, the lowest rate in Louisiana is 5% while the highest reaches 13.5% — a spread of 8.5%.
