Indiana Sales Tax Guide

Indiana charges a 7% state sales tax, and there are no additional local or county sales taxes layered on top. That makes the math unusually simple: the rate is 7% in Indianapolis, in Fort Wayne, in a small town in the southern hills, and everywhere in between. The tax generally applies to retail sales of tangible personal property, so most goods you buy at a store ring up at 7%.

Several everyday essentials are carved out. Most unprepared groceries are exempt, as are prescription drugs, which keeps a basic grocery run and a pharmacy fill free of the 7% charge. Prepared and restaurant food, however, is taxable, as are many over-the-counter items. Indiana also enforces a complementary use tax: when you buy taxable goods from an out-of-state or online seller that doesn't collect Indiana tax, you owe the same 7% directly to the Indiana Department of Revenue, commonly reported on your annual income tax return.

Indiana Sales Tax FAQ

Is the sales tax rate different in different Indiana cities?
No. Indiana levies a single 7% sales tax statewide and does not allow cities or counties to add their own general sales tax on top. Whether you shop in Bloomington, Gary, or Evansville, the rate on a taxable purchase is 7%. This is unlike many states where local add-ons push the combined rate well above the state figure.
Are groceries taxed in Indiana?
Most unprepared food and grocery staples are exempt from the 7% sales tax, so items like bread, milk, and produce are generally not taxed. Prepared foods, restaurant meals, and certain ready-to-eat items are taxable, and so are things like candy and soft drinks under the state's definitions. The line is essentially between basic groceries and food that is sold ready to consume.
Do I owe Indiana tax on things I buy online or out of state?
Yes, through use tax. If you buy a taxable item from a seller that does not collect Indiana sales tax, you owe 7% use tax directly to the Indiana Department of Revenue on that purchase. Many large online retailers now collect the tax at checkout, but when they don't, the obligation falls to you, often settled on your state income tax return.
Are prescription medications subject to the 7% rate?
Prescription drugs are exempt from Indiana sales tax, so a prescription filled at the pharmacy is not charged the 7%. Many over-the-counter medicines, however, are taxable unless purchased with a prescription. The exemption is aimed at drugs dispensed under a doctor's order rather than at everything sold in the pharmacy aisle.
