Iowa Sales and Use Tax: Rates, Nexus, Exemptions, and Filing Requirements Explained

  • Iowa has a statewide sales and use tax rate of 6%, with local jurisdictions allowed to add additional taxes.
  • Tax applies to tangible personal property and certain services, including clothing, software, service contracts, financial charges, information services, trades-related services, non-prescription drugs, and SaaS.
  • Nexus for tax collection can be established by physical presence or by exceeding $100,000 in sales (economic nexus).
  • Exemptions include most services, food, agricultural items, prescription medical equipment, certain nonprofits, government, and items for resale or manufacturing.
  • Filing can be done electronically or by paper; Iowa participates in the Streamlined Sales Tax initiative and offers a sales tax holiday.
