Answer

No, the Attorney General has cautioned parish sales and use tax offices that sales and use tax return information is considered confidential and privileged under R.S. 47:1508 and may not be disclosed to third-parties absent an applicable exception under the law. See AG Op. No. 11-0178. However, if the Board receives a public records request for information that is neither confidential and privileged under law nor Personal Identifiable Information (PII), the Board must provide the information requested, unless another exception is applicable under the Public Records Law. The Board should work with its legal counsel to address any requests for records. Louisiana Legislative Auditor website: 05/02/2024 05:38:37 AM
