Line #                  Instructions 
        
1      List the gross sales of tangible personal property, leases, rentals, & services as shown on your 
       Louisiana State Sales Tax Return.  Moveable property is described as “tangible personal 
       property”.  “Services” includes the enumerated taxable services listed in LARS 47:301(14).  DO 
       NOT include sales taxes collected in your Gross Sales amount. 
        
2      Deduct sales to businesses that made purchases from you to resell or further process for resale 
       to their customers.  In order to deduct these sales, you must retain a copy of that re-seller’s 
       exemption certificate & indicate on the invoice the name of the exempt purchaser. 
        
14     List purchases for your business’ use for which you did not pay the full amount of sales tax due 
       Rapides Parish.  This is known as “Use Tax”.  Things you purchase for resale but later remove 
       from inventory for your use are examples of items which must be included at your actual cost.  
       Other examples include items purchased for the business’ own use (aren’t resold) via Internet 
       or catalogue which are shipped common carrier in which no local sales tax was charged. As a 
       business, you are required to list these purchases on this line.  Almost every business located 
       within this parish owes some use tax every month.   
        
15     If line 15 is zero, you  must still file the return for  the period based  on  your filing status 
       (monthly/quarterly).  If you are an occasional filer, you are not required to file “zero” returns. 
         
17     You must account for all “Excess Tax” collected.  Due to rounding, you may collect more tax on 
       a daily basis than the monthly total sales reflect is due.  You must remit this tax by adding it on 
       this line. 
        
19     You are entitled to vendor’s compensation of 1% of the tax due provided you have properly 
       complied with all requirements of the sales tax statutes and our department has received this 
       form with payment in a timely fashion.  If you have made any errors or failed to remit timely, 
       you cannot claim vendor’s compensation. 
        
                                                                     st
21     Effective January 1, 2023 - For returns filed on or after the delinquent date (21  day of the month 
       following the period [monthly/quarterly] for which the tax was collected), penalty is calculated 
       by multiplying the tax due by 5% for each 30 days or fraction thereof up to a maximum of 25% 
                                                                       st
       beginning on the day after the DUE date of the return. Returns are DUE on the 1 ; delinquent 
                  st
       on the 21 .    
          
22     Effective January 1, 2023 - Interest accrues on a daily basis using a 365 day year commencing on 
       the DUE date until paid.  The due date is the first day of the month following the filing period 
       (monthly/quarterly) for which the tax was collected.  For example, if a return for the month of 
                      st
       March is paid on May 1 , interest for 31 days (30 days for April & 1 day for May) is owed.  
       Calculate the interest by multiplying the tax times 12%, then divide the result by 365, and 
       multiply by the number of days delinquent.
