Iowa Supreme Court upholds single factor tax more windfall than clarity
The court ruling preserves Iowa’s single factor corporate income tax, yielding about 55 million dollars for the state and delaying a broader tax reform debate. Moorman Manufacturing challenged the approach, arguing a three-factor formula would better reflect income. The majority declined to rule on fairness, leaving Congress to decide. Democrats seek reform while Republicans defend single-factoring to lure industry.
