IDOI > Surplus Lines Licensing > Semi-Annual Premium Tax Semi-Annual Premium Tax

Indiana’s surplus lines premium tax rate is 2.5% of gross premiums. Surplus lines premium tax is payable semi-annually on or before February 1st and August 1st.

POSTMARK DATES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.

If the surplus lines tax payment is not received by the appropriate deadline, a ten percent 10% penalty will be assessed on any amounts received after the first of the month. In the event the first falls on the weekend, the tax is due on the preceding workday.

Semi-annual tax reports are required even if no business has been written for the past six months.

  • Premium amounts reported on the tax report should agree with the amounts reported on the monthly reports for the given period. If different, amended reports and affidavits should be submitted for those months being corrected with the tax filing.
  • To calculate the surplus lines taxes due, please multiply the total premiums by (0.025) to calculate the total amount of surplus lines tax due to Indiana.
