The state of Indiana collects and levies from its residents a flat tax of 3.4 percent of federal adjusted gross income with modification. Indiana tax returns are due on April 15, or the next business day if ever that date falls on a weekend or holiday. As of the 2007 filing season, the deadline for federal returns was changed to Tuesday, April 17. Hoosier State taxpayers also have an extra filing day to complete their 2006 state returns. Most counties in Indiana also collect income taxes.
2) Sales Tax
Effective December 1, 2002, the state sales tax rate in Indiana has become 6 percent.
3) Personal and Real Property Taxes
Property taxes are imposed on both real and personal properties in Indiana and are administered by the Department of Local Government Finance. Tax rates are usually expressed in dollars per $100 of assessed value. Properties are subject to taxation by a variety of taxing units (schools, counties, townships, cities and towns, libraries, etc.), making the total tax rate the sum of the tax rates imposed by all taxing units in which properties are located.
In 2006, Indiana enacted the 2 Percent Circuit Breaker law, which will ensure that homeowners would not pay more than 2 percent of their property value in taxes once this law is fully in place. The Circuit Breaker is slated to become mandatory statewide for residential properties in 2007. The Circuit Breaker expands to include all property types in 2009.
4) Inheritance and estate taxes
An inheritance tax return, IH-6, must be filed by an estate's personal representative within a period of nine months of an Indiana resident's death. The return is not required if the amount left to an heir is less than the allowable exemption, which ranges from the entire estate to $100 for other beneficiaries, if ever the property was left to a spouse or to a charitable organization.
