The bill, which was introduced by Rep. Ken Brass, D-Vacherie, was approved 80-19.

Afterward, he said the digital tax alone is forecast to produce $40 million a year.Separately, the House Ways and Means Committee advanced a bill to snip a 0.45% portion of the state sales tax to 0.4%. That part of the sales tax is set to expire next year, but Gov. Jeff Landry is proposing to extend it permanently. The committee also supported adding sales taxes on 41 services that are exempt now including car washes, Uber rides, pet grooming, dating services, tattooing, piercing and even tanning at a local Palm Beach Tan.And the full House voted 79-19 to repeal income tax credits for certain film makers and for historic building preservation.Lawmakers who had defended tax credits for film and historic preservation agreed to do away with them in favor of lower business tax rates.”I’m pressing green on this bill because I have the commitment of the governor to make sure that program stays strong,” said Rep. Michael Echols, R-Monroe, referring to the film industry.
