The Indiana House of Representatives recently repealed the Utility Receipts Tax from your utility bill. This results in a 1.42% reduction in your monthly water charges beginning with usage on July 1, 2022. For a typical residential customer, this will result in an approximate savings of $4.68 per year.
Prior to January 1, 2022, the utility receipts tax was 1.40% of retail receipts; effective January 1, 2022, the utility receipt tax increased to 1.46%. On Tuesday, March 15, 2022, Governor Eric Holcomb signed into law HEA 1002, which repeals the utility receipts tax levied on retail receipts of certain utilities, including the Utility. HEA 1002 requires the Utility to adjust its rates and charges to reflect the repeal of the utility receipts tax. The Utility’s current rates and charges were established by order of the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (the “Commission”) through Cause 42720 on March 30, 2005, with the addition of the public fire protection charges through a thirty-day filing which was approved by Conference Minutes on June 15, 2005. |
