State plans tax amnesty period
posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
The 2009 Louisiana Tax Amnesty Program is set to run from Sept. 1 through Oct. 31, according to the Louisiana Department of Revenue.

Gov. Bobby Jindal signed into law the Louisiana Tax Delinquency Amnesty Act of 2009, which allows taxpayers to settle account balances, overdue audit assessments, and certain tax disputes with no penalties and only half of the interest on what they owe.

The 2009 Louisiana Tax Amnesty Program applies to resident and non-resident individuals, and in-state and multi-state businesses.

The amnesty can be applied to:

• All taxes administered and collected by LDR, except for motor fuel taxes;

• Taxes that became due on or after July 1, 2001 and before January 1, 2009;

• Taxes due prior to Jan. 1, 2009 for which LDR has issued a billing notice or demand for payment on or after July 1, 2001 and before May 31, 2009;

• Taxes for which the taxpayer and LDR have entered into an agreement to suspend the running of prescription until Dec. 31, 2009;

• Taxes due on or before July 1, 2001, but were ineligible for an earlier amnesty program due to civil litigation.

A taxpayer qualifies for amnesty:

• If they failed to file a tax return or report;

• If they failed to report all income or all tax, interest and penalties that were due;

• If they claimed incorrect credits or deductions;

• If they misrepresented or omitted any tax due;

• If they are under audit or in administrative or judicial litigation.
