Indiana’s economic nexus threshold is $100,000 in gross sales into Indiana in the current or prior calendar year. Once exceeded, registration and collection are required.

Indiana’s state rate is 7%. Indiana does not permit counties or municipalities to impose local sales taxes. The 7% rate applies uniformly across the entire state.
This statewide uniformity makes Indiana one of the simplest states for rate calculation — no ZIP code lookups, no local rate tables, no county surcharges.
Product Categories
Section titled “Product Categories”Taxable: Tangible personal property, digital goods (including SaaS), most retail goods.
Exempt: Prescription drugs, groceries (food and food ingredients for human consumption are exempt), qualifying agricultural inputs, some medical devices.
Grocery exemption: Indiana exempts most food items intended for home consumption. Prepared food (restaurant meals, candy, certain beverages) remains taxable at 7%.
Digital Goods and SaaS
Section titled “Digital Goods and SaaS”Indiana taxes SaaS and digital goods under its sales tax framework. Indiana’s Department of Revenue has taken the position that digital products, including remotely accessed software, are taxable.
Indiana’s digital goods framework:
- SaaS — taxable; Indiana treats the right to access and use software, even remotely, as a taxable transaction
- Downloaded software — taxable as the electronic delivery of prewritten computer software
- Digital content (ebooks, music, movies) — taxable
- Streaming subscriptions — taxable
Indiana is one of the more comprehensive digital goods taxability states. If you sell any digital products or SaaS into Indiana and cross the $100,000 threshold, you have a collection obligation on that revenue.
Custom software: Separately designed and written custom software for a specific customer may be treated differently. Consult Indiana DOR guidance for bespoke development arrangements.
