HB 414 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

TAX/INCOME TAX: Exempts certain overtime compensation and income earned from tips from state income taxation (OR DECREASE GF RV See Note)

HB 414 would exempt up to $25,000 annually of overtime pay and tips from state income tax. This policy directly affects workers in jobs like hospitality, retail, or service industries who earn significant overtime or tip income. The bill sets a clear annual cap: only the first $25,000 of qualifying overtime or tip earnings would be tax-free, with any amount above that remaining taxable. Currently, the bill is under review by the Committee on Ways and Means.
