Iowa rules to know before your website goes live
Some homework before launch:
- Out-of-state sellers have to collect Iowa sales tax once they reach the state threshold: $100,000 or more in gross revenue from Iowa sales in the immediately preceding or the current calendar year. There is no transaction-count test. Iowa Code 423.14A(3)(a)
- Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
- Iowa’s state sales tax rate is 6%, and many cities and counties add a 1% local option sales tax on top of it. Iowa Department of Revenue
