Gross income tax proposed to replace Iowa property tax
The Iowa Association for Tax Justice backs a half percent gross income sales tax to replace real estate taxes.

Tax plan debate on Iowa income levy impact across districts
Davenport officials warn a 0.5 percent sales tax would raise about 110 million annually, while a net income tax proposal backed by the Iowa Association for Tax Justice would relieve districts unevenly. Some districts near Davenport face high mill levies, and Albia area would see modest relief. A bill combining gross income features will be filed next session.
