2023 LA Governor's race: on Tax Reform


Jeff Landry: Your family should keep more of your hard-earned money

Jeff earned a 100% rating in Congress from America's largest small business organization, the National Federation of Independent Business. As Louisiana Attorney General, Jeff Landry has a proven record of standing up for Louisiana business owners to help them succeed in the face of big government. As Governor, Jeff will work to lower taxes for working families and cut job-killing red tape because he believes your family should keep more of your hard-earned money, not the government.

John Schroder: Reduce high state tax rates, return more cash to Louisianans

Tax reform doesn't happen instantaneously. Over the next 10 years, tax reform for companies and the elimination of personal income tax can occur gradually to prevent a major deficit in the budget. By reducing the high state tax rates and returning more cash to Louisianans' pockets, more businesses will begin to call Louisiana home.

Sharon Hewitt: Simplify tax system on the way to zero state income tax

The tax reform work the legislature started in 2021 has put Louisiana on a smart path of lower personal income tax rates and lower corporate tax rates that will continue to be reduced as the economy continues to improve. They work hand in hand. As Governor, I will continue to simplify our tax system, while providing long-term predictability to our businesses who are choosing to stay in Louisiana or considering a relocation to Louisiana, as we work our way to zero state income tax.
