Tax adjustment slows growth rate in Iowa revenues
Iowa revenues grew 5.1 percent through five months of the fiscal year after a one time November adjustment to local option sales tax receipts. The state saw a 0.2 percent drop in November tax receipts from a year earlier due to fewer processing days and a large $11 million reimbursement. Personal income and use taxes rose, while corporate income taxes fell 29.1 percent in November.
