Prentis targets double taxation on Iowa tax changes
Des Moines UPI Republican X T Prentis of Mount Ayr charges that higher income and investment taxpayers face double taxation this year as the 1965 Legislature replaced five mills of the moneys and credits tax with a 3/4 of 1 percent income tax increase. Commission chair Lynn Potter acknowledges overlap but says no double distribution to counties due to a one-year lag. The 1965 law creates a Moneys and Credits Tax Replacement Fund in the state treasury with annual pro rata distributions.
