Indiana sales tax codes and rates
Indiana's state sales tax rate is 7%; county and city rates come on top and are not included. A Nefin company that sells into Indiana gets 2 sales codes, each named after the line of the ST-103 it fills, so the return's figures add up as you invoice. Purchases you owe use tax on go under IN-7, and Nefin works out the use tax due.
