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.
Example: You live and run your business in Iowa City, IA where the sales tax rate is the 6% state rate with no added local rates, but you sell to a customer in Dubuque, IA. The sales tax rate in Dubuque is made up of the 6% Iowa sales tax rate plus the 1% Dubuque County rate for a total of 7%. Since Iowa is a destination-based sales tax state you would charge your buyer the 7% sales tax rate due to where they are located.
