Louisiana businesses that fall behind on state sales tax remittances face aggressive enforcement from the Louisiana Department of Revenue. Unlike IRS federal tax, state sales tax authorities can move faster — bank levies, license revocations, and personal liability assessments can happen within weeks of delinquency. Financing to resolve Louisiana sales tax debt stops enforcement and protects your business license.
Sales Tax Debt Financing in Louisiana: What You Need to Know
When a Louisiana business collects sales tax from customers, it holds those funds in trust on behalf of the Louisiana Department of Revenue. Failing to remit collected sales tax is treated as misappropriation of trust funds — more seriously than simple non-payment of income tax. The Louisiana Department of Revenue typically assesses 12% annual interest on delinquent sales tax, plus penalty assessments for failure to file and failure to pay, plus potential personal liability for responsible parties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I be personally liable for my Louisiana business sales tax debt?
Yes. Like the IRS Trust Fund Recovery Penalty for payroll taxes, most states including Louisiana allow the Louisiana Department of Revenue to assess personal liability against responsible parties (owners, officers, bookkeepers with authority) for willfully unpaid sales tax. This means your personal assets — home, bank accounts, personal property — can be at risk for business sales tax debt.
Can a Louisiana business get financing to pay delinquent sales tax?
Yes. Tax Funds works with Louisiana businesses facing Louisiana Department of Revenue sales tax delinquency. Our lender network provides financing to pay off the outstanding sales tax balance in full, which typically results in immediate release of any Louisiana tax liens and cessation of collection activity. Businesses with both federal IRS debt and Louisiana sales tax debt can often address both in a single financing transaction.
What is the minimum tax debt for Louisiana Sales Tax Debt Financing financing?
Tax Funds works with Louisiana businesses with a minimum of $10,000 in tax debt. There is no maximum. Apply regardless of the size of your tax situation.
