If not, those Hoosiers will need to total the amount of those purchases and report the sales tax due on their 2010 Indiana income taxes in the spring.<\/p>\n<p>Indiana has had a law on the books since 1969 requiring Hoosiers to pay use tax, which essentially is state tax for any purchases where Indiana sales tax was not collected.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, more than 24,000 taxpayers in Indiana reported use tax, amounting to more than $1.4 million. However each year, more than 3.1 million people file individual income-tax returns in Indiana.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With so many people shopping online these days, we realize there are far more who probably owe the use tax from online purchases,&#8221; Revenue Commissioner John Eckart said. &#8220;At this point, we&#8217;re trying to educate Hoosiers about the law so they&#8217;ll know about it and follow it as the state requires.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Many online businesses starting to collect sales tax<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To avoid the uncertainty that pending Congressional legislation could create for out-of-state online businesses, more than 1,800 of them have voluntarily begun collecting sales tax on behalf of states through a program called Streamlined Sales Tax.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses already having a physical presence in Indiana are required to collect sales tax from their online sales.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press release from the Indiana Department of Revenue: Hoosier Online Shoppers Should Check Receipts for Sales Tax Related Images:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1910],"tags":[2639,3893],"class_list":["post-15118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-indiana-state-government","tag-indiana-department-of-revenue","tag-john-eckart"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
