Iowa to enact largest state income tax cut in history
Gov. Kim Reynolds signed Senate File 2417 at Mobile Demand, unveiling a 2.86 billion phased tax cut over six years that lowers income taxes for Iowans while boosting sales tax collections. The law expands sales tax to online shopping and digital services, with projected 725 million in added revenue, funded in part by online capture. Protesters argue it benefits the wealthy and threatens education and public services.
