HB 383 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

TAX CREDITS: Postpones the termination of a tax credit for C-corporations for local inventory taxes paid but reduces the amount of the credit for those taxpayers (EG1 -$130,000,000 SD RV See Note)

HB 383 modifies an existing tax credit for C-corporations that pay local inventory taxes. It postpones the credit's termination from 2028 to 2027 and reduces the credit amount by 50% for tax years starting July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. This bill directly affects C-corporations subject to federal income tax that claim this specific local inventory tax credit. The change creates a temporary reduction in the credit value during the 2026-2027 transition period before the credit fully terminates. The bill is currently pending passage after recent committee amendments.

What changed between versions

HB383 Original HB383 Engrossed · 3 edits · Jun 3, 2025
MINOR
The bill extends the sunset date for the local inventory tax credit for C-corporations from 2036 to 2028, allowing companies to claim the credit for two additional years. However, the credit amount is now reduced more aggressively: by 50% in 2026 and 75% in 2027, rather than the previous schedule of 20% reductions every two years. This change balances a longer availability window with a faster phase-out of the financial benefit.
Scope change
The bill's applicability window was extended from July 1, 2036, to July 1, 2028, but the credit amount is reduced more rapidly within that period.
TIMELINE

The expiration date for the C-corporation tax credit was moved forward from July 1, 2036, to July 1, 2028.

FISCAL

The rate reduction schedule was accelerated, reducing the credit by 50% in 2026 and 75% in 2027, instead of a slower 20% reduction every two years.

ELIGIBILITY

The specific timeframes for calculating the reduced credit amounts were updated to match the new 2026 and 2027 reduction schedule.
