Iowa Senate approves income tax bill and tax reform plan
The Iowa Senate passed a key tax reform measure 29 to 17, with 4 absent, proposing county control of assessments via boards of supervisors under the state board. It would replace many township and city assessors, require sworn property listings, and empower a county assessor to examine records and levy taxes. The House later backed a corporate tax plus tiered rates, with exemptions for individuals, as amendments lowered rates for smaller incomes and set a 3 percent corporate levy. The measure now faces House debates and potential opposition.
