Sales and Use Tax

The primary burden for the collection of sales tax is on dealers who sell merchandise, perform taxable services and/or lease or rent tangible personal property. They add tax to the selling price, collect the tax from their customer and remit the tax to the Terrebonne Parish Sales And Use Tax Department either electronically or on forms that are made available to them. Sales tax is due on the first day of the month following the period covered and becomes delinquent by the 21st day. Should your business have no taxable sales for a particular filing period, you must file a “zero” sales tax return for that period. Although the forms are usually mailed to all dealers, failure to receive the form does not relieve the dealer from the responsibility of filing and remitting sales tax that may be due. Electronic remittance of sales tax can be done through secure Parish E-File portal. Registration requires an email address, bank account number and routing number and your sales tax account number (the last 6 digits – for example 00357A or 000357 if no letter has been assigned).
