Manufacturing Sales Tax Exemption/Exclusion

The State of Louisiana and certain Parishes in Louisiana offer a Sales Tax Exemption/ Exclusion for manufacturing organizations.

The company must apply and be granted the sales tax exemption/exclusion to avoid sales tax.

The association must apply with the State of Louisiana and in each parish that business is originated. An exemption for one parish may not be acknowledged / accepted by another parish.

It is strongly suggested that the sales tax division in each pertinent Parish and the State of Louisiana be contacted individually to obtain the rules and regulations.

Dixie Mill must have a current copy of the State and Parish certificate to allow the avoidance of sales tax.
