Indiana Says Cloud-Based Educational Services Are Not Subject to Sales Tax

  • Indiana ruled that charges for accessing cloud-based educational and training services are not subject to sales tax.
  • The platform is accessed through a web browser and includes analytics, simulated trading, and educational content.
  • The service was not treated as a taxable digital product or software sale because customers do not receive permanent use rights or ownership.
  • Remotely accessed SaaS that is not downloaded is not considered a taxable software transfer under Indiana law.
  • A downloadable third-party component did not change the result because it was optional and not essential to the main service.
