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.

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.
Wisconsin has a statewide sales tax rate of 5.00%, which has been in place since 1961. Municipal governments in Wisconsin are also allowed to collect a local-option sales tax that ranges from 0.00% to 0.60% across the state, with an average local tax of 0.44% (for a total of 5.44% when combined with the state sales tax). The maximum local tax rate allowed by Wisconsin law is 0.60%.
