Iowa Admin. Code r. 701-207.10

Current through Regsiter Vol. 46, No. 26, June 12, 2024
Rule 701-207.10 - Retailers registered and collecting who fail to meet or exceed sales threshold

If a retailer is registered to collect Iowa sales tax and applicable local option sales tax and collects in year 1 and fails to meet or exceed the sales threshold in year 2, the retailer must still collect all applicable sales taxes in year 2. If the retailer does not meet or exceed the sales threshold at any point in year 2, the retailer is not required to collect and remit Iowa sales tax or applicable local option sales tax in year 3. However, if a retailer is registered to collect, the retailer must continue collecting regardless of the impact of the sales threshold. A retailer that falls under the sales threshold may either submit sales tax returns demonstrating it did not collect tax until a time in the future when the retailer meets or exceeds the sales threshold or cancel its sales tax permit if it wishes to cease collecting. If the retailer meets or exceeds the sales threshold at any point thereafter, the retailer would need to register again in accordance with 701-Chapter 201 and begin collecting in accordance with this chapter.

EXAMPLE: Company S, a remote seller, exceeds the sales threshold on June 25, 2019. S must collect Iowa sales tax and applicable local option sales tax beginning August 1, 2019, and must collect for all of 2020. S does not meet or exceed the sales threshold in 2020; therefore, S is not obligated to collect sales tax on January 1, 2021. S may cease collection and cancel its sales tax permit effective January 1, 2021.
