Indiana Marketplace Facilitator Sales Tax Rules — 2026
Use this Indiana marketplace facilitator sales tax guide to check 2026 rules, collection requirements, effective-date notes, threshold counting, and how Amazon, Etsy, eBay, DoorDash, and Uber Eats orders differ from direct-store sales. Direct channels still use the $100,000 threshold.
Indiana's marketplace facilitator law
Indiana has a marketplace facilitator law: marketplaces (Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Walmart Marketplace) calculate, collect, and remit sales tax on your behalf for transactions they facilitate to Indiana buyers.
This significantly reduces your compliance burden if you sell primarily through marketplaces. But it does not exempt you from registering if you also have direct channels (your own store, wholesale, trade shows, etc.).
Key distinctions
- Facilitated sales (collected by the marketplace): you generally don't collect or remit.
- Direct sales (your own checkout): your responsibility as before.
- Informational filings may still be required depending on Indiana's rules, even on marketplace-facilitated volume.
- Most states exclude marketplace-facilitated sales from your economic nexus threshold calculation, but double-check Indiana specifically before assuming.
Marketplace-specific gotchas in Indiana
- Not every platform you sell on is legally a marketplace facilitator. Shopify's store platform is not — you are the seller of record. Shopify's Markets Pro is. Verify per platform.
- Wholesale sales through a marketplace are usually NOT marketplace-facilitated — the marketplace is a payment conduit, not the seller. Direct-collect obligations still apply.
- Returning customers and refunds: if the marketplace remitted tax and you process a refund outside the marketplace, the refund usually needs to flow through the marketplace to trigger the tax reversal. Off-marketplace refunds create reconciliation headaches.
Indiana nexus note
Indiana sales tax nexus and economic nexus threshold: more than $100,000 in gross revenue from sales into Indiana in the current or preceding calendar year. Effective January 1, 2024, Indiana removed its prior 200-transaction test; the state now uses a sales-only threshold. Indiana DOR Sales Tax Information Bulletin #89 says the threshold includes tangible personal property delivered into Indiana, products transferred electronically into Indiana, and services delivered in Indiana, including exempt sales and wholesale transactions. Services are sourced to Indiana when the buyer first uses them in Indiana, but a seller that provides only nontaxable services generally is not required to register solely because it crosses the threshold. Marketplace facilitators count both their own Indiana sales and facilitated marketplace sales toward the $100,000 threshold; marketplace sellers generally exclude sales made through registered marketplaces from their own Indiana threshold test unless the marketplace facilitator has not met the threshold. Indiana's statewide sales tax rate is 7%, with no local sales-tax add-on, and remote sellers with less than $1,000 in annual Indiana sales-tax collections generally file annually. Indiana DOR source data last retrieved 2026-06-01.
