Instead of attracting new businesses to Indiana, a bill in the Indiana House seeks to attract people who will work from home. Fort Wayne Republican Martin Carbaugh says if people can do their job from anywhere, Indiana could benefit by persuading them to do it here, so Indiana receives their income, sales, and property tax payments. Carbaugh’s bill would offer remote workers up to 85-hundred dollars to get them to move to Indiana. The money could be used for moving costs, as an income tax credit, or to offset the cost of software, hardware and broadband access needed to work remotely.
