Iowa Senate Tax Proposal Aims Historic Income Cut
Senate Republicans unveiled a tax overhaul proposing the largest state income tax cut in Iowa history. The package would raise the sales tax to 5.5 percent, boost cigarette tax by 69 percent to offset a $500 million five year income tax reduction, and place growth limits on property taxes. Senator Larry McKibben said the plan is a starting point for bipartisan reform. The income tax cut is projected to save taxpayers $500 million over five years. The sales tax increase would generate about $160 million and cigarette tax about $33 million.
