Indiana taxes through the Indiana Department of Revenue at a 7% statewide base rate, with local rates stacking on top and economic nexus for remote sellers at $100,000 in sales. Filing runs monthly or annually by liability. Because Indiana runs an annual bracket, low-volume e-commerce and online sellers can go twelve months between returns — which is exactly how long a liability account can drift before anyone looks at it.
Employer registration runs through the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, and the entity is registered with the Indiana Secretary of State. No local sales tax, which makes Indiana unusually simple to calculate.

Marketplace sales vs. your own channels in Indiana
Marketplace facilitator rules mean large platforms generally collect and remit Indiana tax on sales made through them. Your own site, wholesale, and direct sales are a different matter — those remain yours to collect and report. Keeping the two streams separate in the books is what makes the Indiana Department of Revenue return match reality.
Indiana rates and sourcing
The Indiana statewide base rate is 7%. That is among the highest state rates in the country before a single local rate is added, which makes a miscoded category expensive per transaction rather than merely untidy. Sourcing is where this is won or lost, and with economic nexus set at $100,000 in sales, it becomes your problem the moment that threshold is crossed.
Filing cadence in Indiana
Indiana assigns filing frequency by liability — monthly or annually by liability. Because Indiana includes an annual bracket, a low-volume seller here can go a full year between filings, which is exactly when a liability account drifts unnoticed. We reconcile it monthly regardless of when the return is due.
