Will I be able to use zip code 70123 to accurately determine when to charge Harahan sales tax?

You cannot rely solely on the zip code to determine when to charge Harahan sales tax.   The 70123 zip code is shared by the Elmwood and River Ridge communities as well as the City of Harahan. The U.S. Post Office actually assigns the 701 zip prefix as New Orleans although the 70123 zip code is completely within Jefferson Parish.  Many in the Elmwood area refer to their location as Harahan even though their location is not within the municipality of Harahan.  The Harahan sales tax is applicable only on sales of goods and merchandise originating in, including the sale of services provided within, the municipal boundaries of the City of Harahan and is in addition to other local sales taxes.  

To assist taxpayers and dealers, the Louisiana Uniform Local Sales Tax Board has developed a Sales Tax Lookup Tool.  The Lookup Tool is designed to provide domicile information including applicable state and local sales tax rates, optional exemptions, etc. for a particular municipal address or coordinates by Geocode and can be accessed by a single address lookup, bulk lookup or API link.  Please visit www.lulstb.com for access to the Sales Tax Lookup Tool and additional information.
