Some Indiana counties underpaid on tax distribution

Posted: Updated:
INDIANAPOLIS -

The state auditor's office says it is correcting erroneous excise tax distributions it made to Indiana counties, resulting in more than 30 counties being underpaid about $500,000.

The state collects the excise taxes when residents register their vehicles and the auditor's office distributes a portion of that money each month to the state's 92 counties.

Auditor's office spokeswoman Erin Sheridan tells The Journal Gazette that an employee incorrectly made the March distribution of nearly $20 million using what individual counties were owed the previous month. She says the office is working correct the over- and underpayments.

The mistake follows two much larger mistakes found in recent months in which agencies under Gov. Mitch Daniels mishandled more than $500 million in tax revenue.
