Iowa banks and credit unions in tax battle over franchise rates
The Senate bill would raise both banks and credit unions to a 2 percent franchise tax on the first 7.5 million of annual profit and 4 percent thereafter. Proponents say equal footing is needed as large credit unions expand, while opponents warn of higher costs for 600,000 Iowa credit union members.

Fact check: GOP tax cut would affect Iowa credit unions
The Gazette and KCRG-TV9 examined claims that Senate File 2383 would tax credit unions, noting only about 20 of 89 unions would pay the tax. They cite an average $18 annual cost to members and caution not all members are affected equally. Banks would gain a tax cut while some unions see a tax increase, with overall grade B for exaggerations.
