Louisiana levies a flat 3% state income tax on all taxable income regardless of how much you earn. This makes tax planning straightforward: for every additional dollar you earn, 3 cents goes to Louisiana. Louisiana does not impose local income taxes, so the 3% flat rate is the only state-level income tax you owe.
