As Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Revenue, I welcome you to Louisiana’s Tax Free Shopping Program. The program is designed to boost foreign tourism and to complement every attraction in our state by issuing refunds of sales tax paid on retail purchases made by international visitors to Louisiana. Our state was the first state in the nation to approve a tax-free shopping program for foreign visitors. We warmly welcome all international visitors to our wonderful state and invite you to shop Tax Free at more than 1,000 stores statewide.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Bridges, Secretary
Louisiana Department of Revenue
