Iowa's liquor control commission will raise its profit markup on liquor sold in state stores to about 42 percent above wholesale costs. The change ties to a Wednesday federal tax boost of $1 per gallon on 100 proof liquor and applies to all liquors. The plan moves away from a 50 percent markup calculated before the tax, with the commission set to compute markup on the entire wholesale price including taxes.
