Parish E-File is an online tool that facilitates secure electronic filing of state
and parish/city sales and use tax returns. Taxpayers should be collecting and remitting
both state and parish/city taxes on taxable sales. Parish E-File permits the filing of
multiple parish/city returns from one centralized site.
Parish E-File is provided to you at no charge and offers an easy-to-use registration.
In addition, taxpayers are able to maintain their own identifying and demographic
information.
