Louisiana Capital Gains Tax
Louisiana taxes capital gains at its flat 3% income tax rate, in place since January 1, 2025, when the graduated brackets were repealed. The same reform repealed Louisiana's net capital gains deduction for sales on or after January 1, 2025, unless the purchase agreement and all closing conditions were completed before 2025.
Long-term: 3% flat rate
Short-term: 3% flat rate
