Today, Governor Bobby Jindal highlighted this weekend’s Second Amendment Weekend Sales Tax Holiday, taking place during September 3rd, 4th, and 5th. The Governor highlighted the tax holiday at an event in Denham Springs at Bass Pro Shops.
Governor Jindal said, “The sales tax holiday will cover hunters’ guns, ammunition, safety gear and many other accessories families need for enjoying our state’s hunting grounds. It will also provide our hunting stores with even more increased activity, which will further benefit the economy. Louisiana is truly a sportsman’s paradise and this weekend is a great opportunity for our hunters to save money while enjoying our great outdoors.”
During the three days, eligible items are exempt from all state and local sales taxes in Louisiana. The exemption applies to purchases for individual use and does not apply to business purchases.
Items covered under the tax free holiday include,
- Accessories designed to be used for hunting;
- Shotguns, rifles, pistols, revolvers, or other handguns;
- Ammunition intended to be fired from a gun or firearm is eligible;
- Animal feed for consumption by game which can be legally hunted;
- Apparel such as safety gear, camouflage clothing, jackets, hats, gloves, mittens, face masks and thermal underwear for use while hunting; and
- Off-road vehicles such as all terrain vehicles designed for hunting. (The exemption does not apply to golf carts, bikes, motorcycles, tractors, or motor vehicles which may be legally driven on highways.)
