William M. Backstrom, Jr., leader of the firm’s Tax Practice Group in the New Orleans office, was quoted in the Law360 article “La. Legislators Give Final OK To Taxing Remote Sellers By ’20” about the new remote seller taxation legislation that was passed and signed by Governor John Bel Edwards. Bill explains how new language to the previous year’s bill was added, eliminating the physical presence requirement of a seller to be subject to tax on their sales and how this piece of the legislation is important because it more precisely defined what constitutes a remote seller.
