Indiana’s Business Tax Climate Ranks Top 10 in Nation

The nonpartisan Tax Foundation recently ranked Indiana 10th in the nation in its 2019 State Business Tax Climate Index.

Indiana outranks our neighboring states, with Michigan at 13th, Kentucky at 23rd, Illinois at 36th and Ohio at 42nd.

The Index looks at each state’s tax codes, evaluating their corporate, individual income, sales, property and unemployment insurance taxes.

Indiana performed well in many of the individual categories, ranking second in the nation in property taxes and 11th in unemployment insurance taxes.

I’m pleased with our thriving business tax climate, and as your state senator, I will continue to support policies that make Indiana a great place to live, work and raise a family.
