La. R.S. 47:287.747 — Situs of stock cancelled or redeemed in liquidation

In cases where property located in Louisiana is received by a shareholder in the liquidation of a corporation, the stock cancelled or redeemed in the liquidation shall, for purposes of determining taxable gain under this Part, be deemed to have its taxable situs in this state to the extent that the property of the corporation distributed in liquidation is located in Louisiana. If only a portion of the property distributed in liquidation is located in Louisiana, only a corresponding portion of the gain realized by a shareholder shall be considered to be derived from Louisiana sources. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to mean that gain or loss shall be recognized upon the transfer of property in a merger of corporations where the basis of the property in the hands of the merging corporation is carried forward as the basis in the hands of the continuing corporation.
