Iowa revenue director William Forst issued two rulings clarifying the new tax law. The 3 percent service tax will apply to new construction. He also ruled that families cannot receive a double credit for sales tax refunds.

Ruling Clarifies Tax on New Construction in Canada
The ruling upholds that a 1967 law taxes new construction labor under the sales tax. It contradicts prior statements by Gov. Harold E. Hughes and ex-Tax Chairman Earl Burrows, who argued exemptions for new construction. Forst notes most building materials are taxed already, and claims no double credit beyond the allowed dependent refund rules.
