But, as always, the devil is in the details. It's is an incredibly complex process that, while holding great promise, comes with significant limitations and unknowns. In this lesson, we will gloss over the obvious benefits of bioremediation and instead look at a few of the challenges, or disadvantages, of bioremediation.
Sales taxes. The state sales tax rate in Iowa increased to 6% (from 5%) on July 1, 2008. Iowa also collects a corresponding use tax on out-of-state purchases. Local taxing jurisdictions also may impose a local option sales tax if approved by voters. This tax is imposed on the gross receipts from sales of tangible personal property.
Minnesota, with a sales tax rate of 6.875%, and Nevada, with a sales tax of 6.85%, also have notably high tax rates. Rounding out the 11 highest sales tax states are Arkansas, Kansas, and Washington state, all of which have a 6.5% state sales tax rate. In some cases, local sales taxes can drive the rates even higher.
