What Iowa asks of a business with a website
Some homework before launch:
- 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
- A contact form collects personal information, and Iowa has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Iowa Code 715C.2 (Personal Information Security Breach Protection)
