About each permit
Registered Retail Merchant Certificate
$25 once for each place of business, so a second Indiana location means another $25 — and then renewal costs nothing. The department renews it within thirty days of expiry provided every return has been filed and every listed tax remitted; a merchant who is behind but cures before expiry gets a one-year renewal instead of two. The certificate must be displayed at each location. A remote seller crossing $100,000 of gross revenue into Indiana registers and pays the $25 like anyone else. The department must give sixty days' notice before refusing to renew, and a revoked certificate is reinstated seven days after the liability is cleared.
