Successful Tax Strategies: Cutting through the complexities of the Tax Code.

New Indiana Unemployment Law for 2010
May 29, 2009

On May 13, 2009, Governor Mitch Daniels signed House Bill 1379 into law. HB 1379 deals with Indiana’s growing unemployment compensation obligation and labor issues. The SUTA rates will change starting on January 1, 2010, and the wages subject to the tax will increase from a maximum of $7,000 to $9,500. 

The lowest rate for employers with no claims actually goes down ($9,500 x .7% = $66.50 in 2010 versus the current $7,000 x 1.1% = $77 per employee). The state will collect increased tax dollars from employers with a lot of claims against them (a maximum of $9,500 x 9.5% = $902.50 in 2010 versus the current $7,000 x 5.6% = $392 per employee). 

The rates are scheduled to be higher in 2011.
