The new sales tax will only affect taxpayers located inside the city limits of Minden, LA and inside one of the four Minden Economic Development Districts or taxpayers that have a sales/use tax liability in any of these Districts. Our return has been revised effective for the period beginning January 1, 2017. If a taxpayer is inside one of the Districts they are required to collect and remit the current local tax of 5 1/2% along with the additional 2% Minden Economic Development District tax. The additional 2% will be reported on line 16A. A new tax return has been provided online at www.laota.com. Our website will also be updated with the new return. Please contact our office if you have any questions.
