Loss In Personal Property Tax Replaced
Austin readers hear Rep. Harvey Sabre explain the new excise tax law aims to reform taxes rather than simply cut totals. The law replaces personal property tax revenue dollar for dollar, shifts taxation to inventories and machinery, raises corporate tax from 7 1 4 to 8 percent, and imposes a 3 percent sales tax on machinery purchases. Farmers gain least fear, industry gains offset by new charges, and August 1 implementation is planned amid calls for equity and revenue stability.

The change mirrors Treasurer Franzenburg’s 1960s plan to keep state money in Iowa banks, potentially boosting annual interest by about 300,000 dollars.
