Iowa Research Credit Faces Push for Disclosure and Limits
An Iowa Department of Revenue analysis shows $25.3 million awarded in 2000 and an average claim of $795,000 for firms with 500 or more employees, while legislation will require disclosure of companies receiving more than $500,000 from the research credit after July 1. Proponents say the incentive keeps jobs and development in Iowa, exemplified by HNI Corp in Muscatine, but critics argue the credits amount to subsidies for profitable firms and should be capped to $250,000 or $100,000 per company per year.
