On December 5, 2018, the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled in favor of Louisiana taxpayers confirming a lower court ruling that Act 109, legislation amending La. R.S. 47:33, a state income tax statute that provides a credit to taxpayers for income taxes paid in other states, is unconstitutional. Liskow handled this litigation for the taxpayers from the ruling of the Nineteenth Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge through the Louisiana Supreme Court decision confirming that Act 109 discriminates against interstate commerce in violation of the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution.
