Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 47, § 337.72. Penalty for false or fraudulent return

When the taxpayer files a return that is false or fraudulent or grossly incorrect and the circumstances indicate that the taxpayer had intent to defraud the taxing authority of any tax due under the local ordinance and this Chapter, there shall be imposed, in addition to any other penalties provided, a specific penalty on the tax found to be due. This specific penalty shall be an obligation to be collected and accounted for in the same manner as if it were a part of the tax due, and can be enforced either in a separate action or in the same action for the collection of the tax.
