Iowa tax receipts rise led by December sales surge and income gains
Des Moines reports a 9.9 percent rise in state sales tax receipts for December as four major tax categories show growth. Personal income tax up 8.4 percent in December, sales tax up 10.8 percent, use tax up 5.4 percent, and corporate income taxes turn positive for the year. Budget director Tegeler warns growth will taper over the next six months amid expected flood impacts and slower income tax gains. Overall six months taxed nearly $1.797 billion, up $154.7 million from last year, with sales and use tax and corporate receipts highlighting the mixed outlook for fiscal 1994.
