The Louisiana Headquarters and Growth Act, Act 401, 2005 (HB 679) (LHGA) was pushed by the administration of then Governor Kathleen Blanco and was touted by her Secretary of Economic Development as a signal that Louisiana was open for business. LHGA was passed in July 2005, about one month before the catastrophic storms Katrina and Rita devastated South Louisiana.

LHGA provides exemptions for dividend and interest income, a shift on the taxation of gains from allocable income to apportionable income, and a single-weighted sales factor apportionment approach for certain types of businesses. The legislative history of LHGA suggested that businesses with headquarters in the state were in danger of leaving the state and that very few companies were considering locating headquarters in Louisiana. See PLR 04-004 (9/13/04), which directed a company with offices in Texas and Louisiana as to how to position activity and personnel in Texas so as to achieve a Texas commercial domicile. LHGA successfully made its way through the Legislature and was signed by the Governor on July 1, 2005. LHGA's changes apply to all taxable periods beginning after December 31, 2005.

This program includes expert analysis by Robert S. Angelico on audio.
