How Local Sales Tax Works in Indiana
Indiana levies no county or municipal sales tax. The 7% state rate applies at every address in the state, which puts Indiana among the highest state-only rates in the country while keeping compliance straightforward. Separate innkeeper’s and food and beverage taxes exist in many counties, but they apply to lodging and prepared food rather than to general retail sales.
Which Indiana Rate Should You Charge?
With a single statewide rate and no local add-ons, sourcing does not change the rate on an Indiana sale. It still matters for determining whether Indiana tax applies at all rather than another state’s.
What Indiana Taxes — and What It Doesn’t
Groceries for home consumption and prescription drugs are exempt. Most services are untaxed. Indiana taxes prepared food, soft drinks, and dietary supplements at the full rate.
