"Window of Opportunity" (Amnesty) Announced in Louisiana

It seems like these amnesties come up a lot, but in reality they don't. For example, Louisiana hasn't had an amnesty program since 2001. If you have activity in Louisiana and possible sales/use tax or income tax exposure, consider taking advantage of this opportunity. 

In fact, Louisiana is calling their amnesty program a "Window of Opportunity".  It applies to all taxes administered by the LA DOR (except motor fuel taxes). It applies to taxes that became due as of July 1, 2001, and before Jan. 1 of this year (money owed since the last tax amnesty program); taxes due prior to Jan. 1 for which the agency has issued a notice or demand for payment between July 1, 2001, and May 31 of this year; and taxes due as of July 1, 2001.

The benefits are that the DOR will waive 50% of the interest due and 100% of the penalties.
