Indiana Business Property Tax Reform: Critical Update for 2025
latest indiana business property tax update:
Recent legislative changes have significantly altered the approach to Indiana’s business personal property tax exemption for 2025.

- The exemption will jump to $2 million per county for the 2026 assessment year and beyond, as originally planned.
- If your clients filed a 2025 business personal property tax return before April 15, 2025 and claimed the now-repealed $1 million exemption, they must file an amended return by May 31, 2025 to remain compliant with the law.
- The phase-out of the “30% floor” on depreciation for new equipment placed in service after January 1, 2025, remains in effect.
