What’s in it
AI summary People in Iowa would no longer have to pay sales or use tax when they buy dietary supplements like vitamins and minerals. This change affects anyone purchasing these types of products.1
Read the official explanation
This bill exempts the sale of dietary supplements from the sales tax. “Dietary supplement” is defined in Code section 423.3(57)(c), and includes vitamins and minerals. By operation of Code section 423.6, an item exempt from the imposition of the sales tax is also exempt from the use tax imposed in Code section 423.5.
Why it matters. People buying vitamins, minerals, and other dietary supplements would no longer pay sales or use tax on these items. This change affects consumers by removing the tax from these specific purchases.2
