THE

PROBLEM

Louisiana eliminated the credit that helped offset the cost of the inventory tax—one of the most punitive taxes on businesses.


After voters rejected a statewide fix last year, businesses are now left paying the full burden of this tax, regardless of profitability.


That’s not just bad policy—it’s a direct threat to jobs, investment and local economies.

WHAT'S AT STAKE

The inventory tax punishes the very businesses our communities rely on:

It discourages investment, limits growth and
pushes jobs to other states

At the exact moment Louisiana is attracting major projects, we’re making it harder for businesses to invest and expand in our state.

CONSTITUTIONAL

AMENDMENT 4

Amendment 4 gives local communities the flexibility to compete for jobs and investment.

It allows parishes to:

Reduce or eliminate

the inventory tax

Make decisions

locally—not from Baton

Rouge

Offset the change

with a one-time payment

to protect local revenue

 Ensure Louisiana remains competitive for investment and expansion

WHY IT MATTERS

Louisiana has real momentum—but

momentum doesn’t last if policy moves backward.


Empowers local control—decisions stay in the parish


Helps Louisiana compete for new jobs and investment



Offers local communities the tools to compete for jobs and investment

Most importantly, it sends a clear message:

Louisiana is serious about competing for jobs.
