701—18.50 (422,423) Property used by a lending organization. On and after July 1, 1988, the gross receipts from the sale of tangible personal property to a nonprofit organization organized for the purpose of lending the tangible personal property to the general public for use by the public for nonprofit purposes are exempt from tax. The exemption contained in this rule is applicable to tangible personal property only, and not to taxable services. It is applicable to the sale of that property and not to its rental to a nonprofit organization. Finally, the exemption is applicable only to property purchased by a nonprofit organization for subsequent rental to the general public. The exemption is not applicable to other property (e.g., office equipment) which the nonprofit organization might need for its ongoing existence.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 422.45(36).
