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. For e-commerce & online sellers, that combination is what decides how much of your month-end is bookkeeping and how much is compliance.
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.

Sales tax nexus in Indiana
Economic nexus in Indiana is $100,000 in sales. For e-commerce & online sellers, that threshold is the one to watch, because it is reached by selling into the state — no office, no staff, no physical presence required. Once you cross it you are expected to register with the Indiana Department of Revenue and begin collecting. We track your Indiana sales against it and tell you before you cross, not after.
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%. Local rates stack on top and are generally sourced to the delivery address, so the effective rate varies within the state. Getting sourcing right is what keeps the liability account matching what you actually collected.
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.
