Bill Backstrom, a partner on the State and Local Tax Team in the New Orleans office, was quoted in the Tax Notes article “Louisiana Committee Advances Tax Refund Policy Change” discussing the passage of H.B. 265, a bill requiring the Louisiana Department of Revenue to refund taxes paid under an unconstitutional law, regardless of whether or not the taxes were paid under protest. Bill comments that the law will provide individuals and small businesses with a new remedy for recovering taxes.
