Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 47, § 287.654. Installment payments of estimated income tax by corporations

A. Corporations required to pay estimated income tax. Every corporation subject to taxation under this Part shall make payments of estimated tax, as defined in Subsection C, during its taxable year, as provided in Subsection B, if its estimated tax for such taxable year can reasonably be expected to be one thousand dollars or more.

B. Payments in installments. Any corporation required under Subsection A to make payments of estimated tax, as defined in Subsection C, shall make such payments in installments as follows:

C. Estimated tax defined. The term “estimated tax” means the amount which a taxpayer estimates to be the tax imposed by this Part for the current period, less the amount which it estimates to be the sum of any credits allowable against the tax.

D. Recomputation of estimated tax. If, after paying any installment of estimated tax, the taxpayer makes a new estimate, the amount of each remaining installment, if any, shall be the amount which would have been payable if the new estimate had been made when the first estimate for the taxable year was made, increased or decreased, as the case may be, by the amount computed by dividing:

E. Application to short taxable year. The application of this Section to taxable years of less than twelve months shall be as prescribed by the secretary.

F. Installments paid in advance. At the election of the corporation, any installment of the estimated tax may be paid before the date prescribed for its payment.

G. Payments of estimated income tax. Payment of the estimated income tax, or any installment thereof, shall be considered payment on account of the income taxes imposed by this Part for the taxable year.
