FOR SALE
I made a call to the Indiana Department of Revenue this morning on sales tax figures for the state. I did this because the sales tax will be increased by one penny from 6 to 7 cents in order to provide Hoosiers with property tax relief. Here’s a rundown of 2007 filings…
Total Sales Tax Collected – $3.6 billion.
Marion County – $825 million
Hamilton County – $155 million
Hancock County – $27 million
Shelby County – $13 million
Boone County – $77 million
Hendricks County – $146 million
Johnson County – $77 million
Morgan County – $25 million
It’s important to note that because of the way Indiana law works, a business only has to file sales taxes in one county, even though they may have businesses in multiple counties. The tax collected from those businesses would fall under the consolidated filing in the one county.
