The central issue debated at each successive legislative session
for over a decade, Louisiana's significant fiscal problems have
remained unresolved despite efforts to mitigate the state's
financial woes and avoid cutting key services or resorting to
stop-gap solutions. Louisiana created its current tax structure in
the 1970s, with some subsequent revisions in response to new
economic realities. While many developments in Louisiana's fiscal
picture lie outside the state's control, other changes including
shifting tax rates, shrinking the tax base, and increasing the
number of exemptions, deductions, and tax credits, resulted from
decisions made by the legislative body. In Exploring Long-Term
Solutions for Louisiana's Tax System, James A. Richardson, Steven
M. Sheffrin, James Alm, and other contributors advocate for
establishing financial reforms geared to long-term change and more
stable fiscal prospects. With a focus on practicality and
accessibility, the authors explore the complexities of Louisiana's
economic reality and explain the state's current tax structure. In
so doing, they suggest several reforms that challenge the state's
use of sales tax, application of the individual income tax,
approach to corporate taxation, and allocation of other taxes such
as mineral revenues. Crucial for those who want to engage with
their representatives, colleagues, and fellow voters on the topic
of taxation, this book equips readers with timely information about
policy and, more importantly, nonpartisan solutions that could
secure a more prosperous future for Louisiana.
