La. R.S. 6:662

A credit union is an institution for savings. It, together with all accumulations therein, is not subject to taxation except as to immovable property owned. The shares of a credit union are not subject to a stock transfer tax when issued by the corporation or when transferred from one member to another. No fees or taxes nor any of the stipulations as to capital stock set forth in general statutes for corporations apply to credit unions.
