Are you delinquent in your tax accounts with the City of New Orleans? There’s some good news in the form of the city’s Tax Amnesty program, effective through September 3, where business owners can settle and pay only the base tax amount due and a portion of the interest.

The program applies to outstanding sales, use, hotel/motel, parking, alcoholic beverage gallonage, occupational license taxes and various permits without penalty, negligence and only 50% interest.  It does not, however, include property taxes of any kind.

• Those who failed to register and/or file sales or any other type of tax, license or permit.
• Taxpayer who are under installment agreement or have defaulted on an installment agreement.
