Three-Tier Tax Bill Clears Iowa House Panel
Bitter floor fight looms as Iowa House Ways and Means Committee sends a threefold tax package to the floor by a 178 vote. The plan seeks 69 million extra yearly state revenue by raising sales and use taxes from 2% to 3%, expanding the base to motel and hotel rentals, increasing personal income tax rates, and raising the corporate tax from 3% to 4%. About half the revenue would fund school aid and reduce local property taxes, with amendments tying funds to a temporary special account and allocating 10% to road use tax. The package targets roughly 105 million dollars yearly for school aid and a $5 million boost for the agricultural land tax credit fund, aiming to cover about one-third of total public school operating costs.
