Andre B. Burvant, a partner in the Tax Practice Group in the New Orleans office, was quoted in The Center Square, The Lafourche Gazette, Law360, and Tax Notes about recent House legislation passed and signed by Governor John Bel Edwards concerning taxes for remote sellers. The new law will require remote sellers to register with a state tax commission in order to develop a simplified and central filing system for sales into independent local jurisdictions. After analyzing House Bill 547, Andre suggests for lawmakers to reexamine the bill’s definition of a remote seller, which he believes narrows the scope of retailers that are able to use the proposed central filing system. He comments if an insufficient number of remote sellers qualify, then the legislation may prove ineffective.
