Stay Tax Free – Vote FOR Ammendment #1 on Nov 19
Comming up in November you will be faced with a decision on Ammendment #1. It’s really a very simple decision. Vote FOR it! Ok, you might want to know why? A vote FOR Ammendment #1 will help to prevent the institution of a real estate transfer tax in Louisiana. Currently, people pay a property tax, so adding a real estate transfer tax would be a form of double taxation by adding another tax when the property is sold. This is a destructive tax that further digs into the pockets of hardworking Louisianains.
Now, I know that is an easy concept. Here’s why we need you to tell everyone you know. Most ammendments are written in a way that confuses most of us voters. And when we are confused we tend to vote against the ammendment – especially if the ammendment has something to do with a tax. We tend to think that if it’s about a tax and we vote against it then we prevent the tax. But November 19 will be opposite day when it comes to that line of thinking. A vote FOR this ammendment is the way to keep these transfer taxes from being imposed.
A transfer tax on the sale or purchase of real estate in Louisiana could be harmful. This ammendment prevents any municipality in Louisiana from using a real estate transfer tax as a form of gaining revenue for the local governement by outlawing the tax on the sale of real estate throughout Louisiana.
