Indiana sales tax and Indianapolis bookkeeping
Indiana charges a flat 7% state sales tax with no county or city add-on — making it one of the simpler US states for sales tax tracking. Most taxable goods are subject to the single rate. Your bookkeeper codes each transaction to the right category and tracks the tax on each sale. By quarter end, the total is ready for your accountant to file with the Indiana DOR.
