Kean Miller LLP represents local, regional and national clients in Louisiana tax issues. Our lawyers routinely prepare protest letters concerning state and local tax assessments and appear at conferences with the taxing jurisdictions concerning the resolution of tax disputes. We are involved in numerous pieces of litigation concerning the assessment of sales and use taxes, income taxes, franchise taxes and property taxes at the administrative level, district court level and appellate court level.
We have a substantial amount of expertise in handling cases concerning sales and use taxes, as well as many constitutional issues concerning the application of the state and local sales and use tax statutes. Importantly, we are well versed in state and local economic incentive programs such as the “Enterprise Zone Programs,” “10-year Industrial Tax Exemption Program” and the Quality Jobs Act. We also represent clients in “Payment in Lieu of Tax” arrangements, cooperative endeavor agreements, and public-private partnerships.
