Iowa study to double income tax and add sales tax
The Iowa Legislative Tax Study Committee proposes a tax package raising income tax rates and adding a fourth cent to the sales tax to fund education and state operations. Even with doubling income tax and the extra cent, $27 million more is needed for the committee’s recommendations, with total actions over two weeks estimated at $251 million. The plan shifts local school funding to a foundation system, aiming to cut property tax millage but potentially costing more than $109 million in state aid, and faces questions about the true cost to taxpayers as school budgets rise.
