sales tax

Indiana started off its new fiscal year on a positive note, collecting two percent more revenue than its spending plan expected as it begins the second year of its budget cycle.

Indiana is one of more than 20 states with a sales tax on women’s period supplies, according to the Alliance For Period Supplies.

Indiana's sales tax on gasoline will largely hold steady next month, increasing by just $0.001. But there's a bigger gas tax increase coming in July and, thanks to new legislation, several more Julys to come.

That tax rate will be 5.4 cents less than August's record-high rate of 62.4 cents, a fluctuation that comes as Indiana's 7% sales tax on gasoline is calculated monthly along with a set tax directed to road projects.

Indiana has two taxes on gasoline -- the 7% state sales tax and a tax directed to infrastructure projects.

With Indiana's state tax collections surging, a top Republican legislator is looking at possible significant changes to the state sales tax and cutting property taxes for some businesses.

A 1992 U.S. Supreme Court decision says states can't force online retailers to collect and remit sales tax if they have no physical connection to the state.

If you go to the store and buy, say, tax preparation software, you'll be charged sales tax. But if you access that program online, you won't.

Most businesses who sell online aren't required to collect sales tax if they don't have a physical presence in the state.

The state's battle to collect online sales tax from non-resident businesses will more likely play out in Congress than in the courts, says one economist.
