House Bill No. by Representative Mandie Landry aims to amend the existing law regarding the collection of sales and use taxes by political subdivisions, specifically focusing on Orleans Parish. The bill allows local taxing authorities within the parish to enter into agreements for the joint collection, enforcement, and administration of taxes, as is permitted in other parishes. However, it introduces a significant limitation by stipulating that the fees charged to a taxing authority under such agreements cannot exceed five percent of the tax collections.

The proposed law retains the current provisions that allow for collaborative agreements among taxing authorities while adding the new limitation on fees specifically for Orleans Parish. This change is intended to ensure that the costs associated with tax collection services remain manageable for local taxing authorities, thereby promoting efficient tax administration within the parish.
