Special Indiana Sales Tax Rules
Urban Enterprise Zones (UEZ)
Indiana has designated Urban Enterprise Zones in Fort Wayne and Evansville where qualified businesses charge half the standard sales tax rate (3.5% instead of 7.000%).
Important: Not all businesses in UEZ cities qualify. Only UEZ-certified retailers can charge the reduced rate, and certification requires meeting specific criteria and maintaining good standing.
Cities with UEZ: Fort Wayne and Evansville have designated areas where qualified businesses offer the 3.5% reduced rate.
How UEZ Works
The Urban Enterprise Zone program encourages economic development in designated areas by allowing certified businesses to collect sales tax at 3.5% instead of the full 7%. This makes purchases more affordable and attracts customers to these areas.
Tax-Exempt Items
Indiana exempts several categories from sales tax
- • Food & Groceries: Unprepared food items for home consumption (prepared foods, candy, and soft drinks are taxable)
- • Prescription Drugs: Medications prescribed by licensed healthcare providers and medical supplies
- • Manufacturing Equipment: Machinery and equipment used directly in production processes
- • Agricultural Supplies: Items used in agricultural production
- × Clothing is NOT exempt: Unlike some states, Indiana taxes clothing at the full 7% rate

Indiana Sales Tax Rate History
Indiana's sales tax has been 7.000% since April 1, 2008. Here's how the rate has evolved since its adoption:
| Effective Date | Rate | Change | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| April 1, 2008 | 7.00% | ▲ +1.00% | Increased to offset property tax reform revenue losses |
| 2002-2008 | 6.00% | ▲ +1.00% | Rate was 6% |
| 1983-2002 | 5.00% | — | Rate was 5% for nearly 20 years |
| 1963 | 2.00% | — | Retail sales tax first enacted |
Historical note: Indiana enacted its retail sales tax in 1963, starting at 2%. A 1962 constitutional amendment legalized the state sales tax. The early revenue was used largely to fund the creation of Indiana's modern state highway system. The rate has steadily increased over time, with the most recent increase in 2008 tied to statewide property tax reform that shifted funding burdens.
