422B.8  Local sales and services tax.

A local sales and services tax at the rate of not more than one percent may be imposed by a county on the gross receipts taxed by the state under chapter 422, division IV. A local sales and services tax shall be imposed on the same basis as the state sales and services tax and may not be imposed on the sale of any property or on any service not taxed by the state, except the tax shall not be imposed on the gross receipts from the sale of motor fuel or special fuel as defined in chapter 452A, on the gross receipts from the rental of rooms, apartments, or sleeping quarters which are taxed under chapter 422A during the period the hotel and motel tax is imposed, on the gross receipts from the sale of natural gas or electric energy in a city or county where the gross receipts are subject to a franchise fee or user fee during the period the franchise or user fee is imposed, on the gross receipts from the sale of equipment by the state department of transportation, and on the gross receipts from the sale of a lottery ticket or share in a lottery game conducted pursuant to chapter 99E. A local sales and services tax is applicable to transactions within those incorporated and unincorporated areas of the county where it is imposed and shall be collected by all persons required to collect state gross receipts taxes. All cities contiguous to each other shall be treated as part of one incorporated area and the tax would be imposed in each of those contiguous cities only if the majority of those voting in the total area covered by the contiguous cities favor its imposition.

The amount of the sale, for purposes of determining the amount of the local sales and services tax, does not include the amount of any state gross receipts taxes.

A tax permit other than the state tax permit required under section 422.53 shall not be required by local authorities.
