Bill extends coverage of service tax in Iowa
DES MOINES A bill to extend the three percent state service tax in medical, scientific, legal, accounting, architectural, engineering, consultant, and research services was introduced in the Iowa senate by Ralph Potley and James Potgeter. They say the bill would broaden the tax base and include services omitted in 1967, raising about 4 million dollars to aid the state budget, with a plan to offer tax credits or rebates for the elderly. They note medical services could be taxed or exempt, but if exempted the others would still generate about 4 million in new revenue.
