§ 26:366 — Exported beverages not subject to tax

A. No tax is levied in this Chapter upon beverages of high alcoholic content handled within Louisiana for immediate transportation and delivery beyond the borders of the state if the handling is done in strict accordance with the rules and regulations adopted and promulgated by the secretary with reference thereto pursuant to R.S. 26:367.
B. No tax is levied in this Chapter upon beverages of low alcoholic content produced or manufactured in or imported into Louisiana for export to a licensed dealer in another state or to a foreign country. Any such beverages sold by a wholesale dealer within this state to a retail permittee herein which are later exported beyond the borders of this state are not liable for the tax levied thereon. If the tax has been collected from the permittee by the dealer at the time of shipment, the permittee may file with the dealer, monthly, a statement showing the quantity exported from the state, properly supported by bills of lading and other authentic evidence satisfactory to the secretary, and the dealer may refund the amount of the tax to the permittee and deduct that amount in making his next monthly returns to the secretary.
