Indiana makes it into the top 10, but still levies all major taxes. Its per capita property tax and income tax are both low compared to other states. Its 7 percent sales tax is scheduled to be reduced to 4.9 percent by 2021 and its income tax will fall to 3.23 percent by 2017, both of which will improve its score in the years to come.
