423F.2 REPEAL OF LOCAL SALES AND SERVICES TAXES -- SECURE AN ADVANCED VISION FOR EDUCATION FUND. 1. a. After July 1, 2008, all local sales and services taxes for school infrastructure purposes imposed under chapter 423E are repealed. After July 1, 2008, a county no longer has the authority under chapter 423E or any other provision of law to impose or to extend an existing local sales and services tax for school infrastructure purposes. b. The increase in the state sales, services, and use taxes under chapter 423, subchapters II and III, from five percent to six percent shall replace the repeal of the county's local sales and services tax for school infrastructure purposes. The distribution of moneys in the secure an advanced vision for education fund and the use of the moneys for infrastructure purposes or property tax relief shall be as provided in this chapter. However, the formula for the distribution of the moneys in the fund shall be based upon amounts that would have been received if the local sales and services taxes under former chapter 423E, Code and Code Supplement 2007, continued in existence. c. To the extent that any school district has issued bonds anticipating the proceeds of a local sales and services tax for school infrastructure purposes prior to July 1, 2008, the pledge of such tax receipts for the payment of principal and interest on such bonds shall be replaced by a pledge of its share of the revenues the school district receives under this section. 2. A secure an advanced vision for education fund is created as a separate and distinct fund in the state treasury under the control of the department of revenue. Moneys in the fund include revenues credited to the fund pursuant to this chapter, appropriations made to the fund, and other moneys deposited into the fund. Subject to subsection 3, any amounts disbursed from the fund shall be utilized for school infrastructure purposes or property tax relief. 3. The moneys available in a fiscal year in the secure an advanced vision for education fund shall be distributed by the department of revenue to each school district in an amount equal to the amount the school district would have received pursuant to the formula in section 423E.4 as if the local sales and services tax for school infrastructure purposes was imposed. Moneys in a fiscal year that are in excess of that needed to provide each school district with its formula amount shall be distributed and credited to the property tax equity and relief fund created in section 257.16A. 4. a. The director of revenue by August 15 of each fiscal year shall send to each school district an estimate of the amount of tax moneys each school district will receive for the year and for each month of the year. At the end of each month, the director may revise the estimates for the year and remaining months. b. The director shall remit ninety-five percent of the estimated tax receipts for the school district to the school district on or before August 31 of the fiscal year and on or before the last day of each following month. c. The director shall remit a final payment of the remainder of tax moneys due for the fiscal year before November 10 of the next fiscal year. If an overpayment has resulted during the previous fiscal year, the November payment shall be adjusted to reflect any overpayment.          Section History: Recent Form 2008 Acts, ch 1134, §28; 2008 Acts, ch 1191, § 72 Referred to in § 8.57, 292.1, 292.2, 423.2, 423.43, 423E.5, 423F.4
