Turner rules tax on advertising is unconstitutional
Turner's advisory opinion to Iowa Tax Commission chair Earl Burrows Jr states that the advertising tax lacks legislative guidelines and is unconstitutional for vagueness. He challenges rules as overreach and notes contrary evidence on scope for meat, wood, shoe shine, equipment rental, and flying services. The opinion, advisory only, questions due process and may affect the new sales tax on services, with governor Hughes urging defense of the commission.
