MacArthur Drive is one of Alexandria's distinctive business communities. The major retail and commercial corridor. Whether you run a storefront, a service company, or a home-based venture here, Tides Bookkeeping keeps your books accurate, categorized, and ready for tax season - without you ever leaving MacArthur Drive.
As part of the greater Alexandria, LA economy within Rapides Parish, MacArthur Drive businesses share the same Louisiana tax and compliance landscape as the rest of the area. Our remote-first process means you get a dedicated bookkeeper and clean monthly financials no matter where in Alexandria you are located - reconciled accounts, categorized transactions, and monthly profit-and-loss and balance-sheet reporting you can actually use.
Louisiana has the highest average combined sales-tax rate in the country. The state rate rose to 5% on January 1, 2025, and once the 64 parishes and their cities add their own local rates, the combined rate often tops 10% - and sales tax is collected parish by parish, one of the most complex systems in the nation. The same 2025 reform ran the other way on income: it replaced the old graduated brackets with a flat 3% rate and much larger standard deductions. Charging the right combined rate for each parish - and keeping the books clean for the new flat tax - is exactly what we do.
