Does Indiana have a tax-free weekend?
Quick answer
No. Indiana does not run a recurring sales tax holiday. Purchases are taxed at the normal combined rate year-round, currently 7% across covered Indiana metros.
Some states run holidays only when the legislature enacts them for a given year. Where no holiday exists, the reliable ways to lower the bill are the standing exemptions: groceries, prescription medicine.
