Iowa Code r. 701-207.5 - Retailers with physical presence in Iowa

(1) Sales threshold inapplicable. The sales threshold does not apply to any seller, marketplace facilitator, or other retailer that has physical presence in Iowa. A seller, marketplace facilitator, or other retailer with physical presence in Iowa must collect and remit Iowa sales tax and any applicable local option sales tax pursuant to Iowa Code section 423.14 even if the sales threshold is not met.

(2) Mixed marketplace and nonmarketplace sales. A retailer with physical presence in Iowa who makes both marketplace and nonmarketplace sales must do the following:

a. Collect Iowa sales tax and any applicable local option tax on any taxable sales on which the marketplace does not collect tax.

b. Report on its Iowa sales tax return its gross revenue from all Iowa sales, including any marketplace sales on which the marketplace facilitator collected Iowa sales tax and applicable local option tax, regardless of whether the sales threshold is met.

Example: Seller X is an Iowa-based business, with property and personnel located in Iowa. Seller X has $80,000 in gross revenue from Iowa sales. Seller X makes $10,000 of gross revenue from Iowa sales through a marketplace facilitator that collects Iowa sales tax and applicable local option sales tax. The remaining $70,000 in gross revenue comes from Iowa sales made at Seller X's storefront in Iowa. Seller X must collect and remit Iowa sales tax and applicable local option sales tax on the $70,000 in nonmarketplace sales. On its Iowa sales tax return, Seller X should report $80,000 in gross revenue from sales. Seller X may take a deduction on its Iowa sales tax return of $10,000 for sales on which the marketplace collected Iowa sales tax and applicable local option sales tax.
