Indiana Judge halts Indiana sales tax collection
Marion Circuit Court Judge John L. Niblack issued an injunction stopping Indiana's 2 percent retail sales tax from taking effect July 1. The ruling sparked an appeal plan and potential Supreme Court review, as officials had prepared to collect taxes and faced a projected 187 million dollar biennium raise. The decision follows prior rulings deeming the tax unconstitutional and separates the tax from a separate gross income tax increase for businesses. The case now advances toward a higher court while the state pauses collection actions.
