How Indiana sales tax works
Indiana charges a single rate of 7% statewide with no local additions, which makes it one of the simpler states to sell into. The rate is the same in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville as anywhere else, so you do not need to look up the buyer's city to get the tax right.
That combined rate ranks Indiana number 23 of 51 US jurisdictions, 0.43% above the national average of 6.57%.
The major cities in Indiana all sit at 7%, so the rate does not move much by address within the state.
Owing tax and being required to collect it are separate questions. Indiana sets its economic nexus threshold at $100,000 in sales into the state. Below that you generally have no obligation to register; above it you do, and the obligation applies from the point you cross rather than retroactively across the whole year. Check your own sales into Indiana against that figure before you register anywhere.
Rates below are the published 2026 figures. Local rates change more often than state rates, so verify with the Indiana revenue authority for a transaction of any size, and remember that the rate is only one input: whether the product is taxable at all, and whether shipping is taxable, both vary by state.
