701—107.10(423B) Application of payments. Since a combined state sales and local option return is utilized by the department, all payments received will be applied to satisfy state sales tax and local option sales and services tax, which include tax, penalty and interest. Application of payments received with the tax return and any subsequent payments received will be applied based on a ratio formula, unless properly designated by the taxpayer as provided in Iowa Code section 421.60(2)“d.” The ratio for applying all payments received with the return and all subsequent payments for the given tax period will be based upon the calculated total of state sales and local option sales and services tax due for the given tax period in relation to combined total payment of sales and local option sales and services tax actually received for that tax period.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 423B.7.
