On 29 March 2010, Governor Mitch Daniels signed the state budget, effective 1 July 2010, which amends the sales and use tax laws to comply with the requirements of the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement (SSUTA).  Some of the changes consist of eliminating the Indiana tax rate brackets, and adding or amending definitions, for example, the definition of “retail merchant” is expanded to include anyone entering into a computer software maintenance contract.
