423.8 - LEGISLATIVE FINDING AND INTENT. - Iowa Statutes

423.8 LEGISLATIVE FINDING AND INTENT. The general assembly finds that Iowa should enter into an agreement with one or more states to simplify and modernize sales and use tax administration in order to substantially reduce the burden of tax compliance for all sellers and for all types of commerce. It is the intent of the general assembly that entering into this agreement will lead to simplification and modernization of the sales and use tax law and not to the imposition of new taxes or an increase or decrease in the existing number of exemptions, unless such a result is unavoidable under the terms of the agreement. Entering into this agreement should not cause businesses to sustain additional administrative burden. It is the intent of the general assembly to provide Iowa sellers impacted by the agreement with the assistance necessary to alleviate administrative burdens that result in participation in the agreement. The director and the Iowa streamlined sales tax advisory council shall provide recommendations to address the new administrative burden identified in the Iowa streamlined sales tax advisory council 2005 report submitted to the Iowa general assembly. The recommendations must be submitted to the general assembly by January 1, 2007, and shall include the expenses associated and all relevant data including but not limited to the number of intrastate sellers impacted by the agreement.          Section History: Recent Form 2003 Acts, 1st Ex, ch 2, §101, 205; 2006 Acts, ch 1158, §47          Footnotes Former § 423.8 repealed effective July 1, 2004, by 2003 Acts, 1st Ex, ch 2, § 151, 205
