Resolution
-
Louisiana has Sales Tax Holidays at certain times of the year, which reduce the State tax rate.
-
You can find details of these every month in the maintenance release guide.
-
-
If you do not participate in the Sales Tax Holiday, you may enter a Rate Override tax rule to revert the LA State rate back to the normal 5%

In your Admin Console, go to Organization > Custom Tax Rules > New
