 43  1 after January 1, 2019, but before January 1, 2020, a taxpayer
 43  2 may elect to take advantage of this subsection in lieu of
 43  3 subsection 14, but only if the taxpayer's total expensing
 43  4 allowance deduction for federal tax purposes under section
 43  5 179 of the Internal Revenue Code that is allocated to the
 43  6 taxpayer from one or more partnerships or limited liability
 43  7 companies electing to have the income taxed directly to the
 43  8 owners exceeds one hundred thousand dollars and would, except
 43  9 as provided in this subsection, be limited for purposes
 43 10 of computing net income for state tax purposes pursuant to
 43 11 subsection 14.
 43 12    b.  A taxpayer who elects to take advantage of this
 43 13 subsection shall make the following adjustments to federal
 43 14 taxable income when computing net income for state tax
 43 15 purposes:
 43 16    (1)  Add the total amount of section 179 expense deduction
 43 17 allocated to the taxpayer from all partnerships or limited
 43 18 liability companies electing to have the income taxed directly
 43 19 to the owners, to the extent the allocated amount was allowed
 43 20 as a deduction to the taxpayer for federal tax purposes for the
 43 21 tax year under section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 43 22    (2)  From the amount added in subparagraph (1), subtract
 43 23 the first one hundred thousand dollars of expensing allowance
 43 24 deduction on section 179 property.
 43 25    (3)  The remaining amount, equal to the difference between
 43 26 the amount added in subparagraph (1), and the amount subtracted
 43 27 in subparagraph (2), may be deducted by the taxpayer but such
 43 28 deduction shall be amortized equally over five tax years
 43 29 beginning in the following tax year.
 43 30    (4)  Any other adjustments to gains or losses necessary to
 43 31 reflect adjustments made in subparagraphs (1) through (3).

 43 33 subsection shall not take the increased expensing allowance
 43 34 under section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code for any section
 43 35 179 property placed in service by the taxpayer in computing
 44  1 taxable income for state tax purposes. If the taxpayer has
 44  2 taken any such deduction for purposes of computing federal
 44  3 taxable income, the taxpayer shall make the following
 44  4 adjustments to federal taxable income when computing net income
 44  5 for state tax purposes:
 44  6    (1)  Add the total amount of expense deduction for federal
 44  7 tax purposes taken on section 179 property placed in service by

 44  9    (2)  Subtract the amount of depreciation allowable on such
 44 10 property under the modified accelerated cost recovery system
 44 11 described in section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code, without
 44 12 regard to section 168(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The

 44 14 property in future tax years to the extent allowed under the
 44 15 modified accelerated cost recovery system described in section
 44 16 168 of the Internal Revenue Code, without regard to section
 44 17 168(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
 44 18    (3)  Any other adjustments to gains or losses necessary to
 44 19 reflect the adjustments made in subparagraphs (1) and (2).
 44 20    d.  The director shall adopt rules pursuant to chapter 17A
 44 21 to administer this subsection.

 44 28 taxpayer has taken the additional first=year depreciation
 44 29 allowance for purposes of computing federal taxable income,
 44 30 then the taxpayer shall make the following adjustments to
 44 31 federal taxable income when computing net income for state tax

 46 24    Sec. 105.  Section 422.5, subsection 2, Code 2018, is amended
 46 25 by striking the subsection.
 46 26    Sec. 106.  Section 422.5, subsections 3 and 3B, Code 2018,
 46 27 are amended to read as follows:
 46 28    3.  a.  The tax shall not be imposed on a resident or
 46 29 nonresident whose net income, as defined in section 422.7, is
 46 30 thirteen thousand five hundred dollars or less in the case
 46 31 of married persons filing jointly or filing separately on a
 46 32 combined return, heads of household, and surviving spouses or
 46 33 nine thousand dollars or less in the case of all other persons;
 46 34 but in the event that the payment of tax under this division
 46 35 would reduce the net income to less than thirteen thousand five
 47  1 hundred dollars or nine thousand dollars as applicable, then
 47  2 the tax shall be reduced to that amount which would result
 47  3 in allowing the taxpayer to retain a net income of thirteen
 47  4 thousand five hundred dollars or nine thousand dollars as
 47  5 applicable. The preceding sentence does not apply to estates
 47  6 or trusts. For the purpose of this subsection, the entire net
 47  7 income, including any part of the net income not allocated
 47  8 to Iowa, shall be taken into account. For purposes of this
 47  9 subsection, net income includes all amounts of pensions or
 47 10 other retirement income, except for military retirement pay
 47 11 excluded under section 422.7, subsection 31A, paragraph "a",
 47 12 or section 422.7, subsection 31B, paragraph "a", received from
 47 13 any source which is not taxable under this division as a result
 47 14 of the government pension exclusions in section 422.7, or any
 47 15 other state law.  In calculating net income for purposes of
 47 16 this subsection, any amount of itemized or standard deduction,
 47 17 personal exemption deduction, or qualified business income
 47 18 deduction that was allowed as a deduction in computing federal
 47 19 taxable income under the Internal Revenue Code shall be added
 47 20 back. If the combined net income of a husband and wife exceeds
 47 21 thirteen thousand five hundred dollars, neither of them shall
 47 22 receive the benefit of this subsection, and it is immaterial
 47 23 whether they file a joint return or separate returns. However,
 47 24 if a husband and wife file separate returns and have a combined
 47 25 net income of thirteen thousand five hundred dollars or less,
 47 26 neither spouse shall receive the benefit of this paragraph,
 47 27 if one spouse has a net operating loss and elects to carry
 47 28 back or carry forward the loss as provided under the Internal
 47 29 Revenue Code or in section 422.9, subsection 3. A person who
 47 30 is claimed as a dependent by another person as defined in
 47 31 section 422.12 shall not receive the benefit of this subsection
 47 32 if the person claiming the dependent has net income exceeding
 47 33 thirteen thousand five hundred dollars or nine thousand dollars
 47 34 as applicable or the person claiming the dependent and the
 47 35 person's spouse have combined net income exceeding thirteen
 48  1 thousand five hundred dollars or nine thousand dollars as
 48  2 applicable.
 48  3    b.  In lieu of the computation in subsection 1 or 2, or in
 48  4 paragraph "a" of this subsection, if the married persons',
 48  5  filing jointly or filing separately on a combined return,
 48  6 head of household's, or surviving spouse's net income exceeds
 48  7 thirteen thousand five hundred dollars, the regular tax imposed
 48  8 under this division shall be the lesser of the maximum state
 48  9 individual income tax rate times the portion of the net income
 48 10 in excess of thirteen thousand five hundred dollars or the
 48 11 regular tax liability computed without regard to this sentence.
 48 12 Taxpayers electing to file separately shall compute the
 48 13 alternate tax described in this paragraph using the total net
 48 14 income of the husband and wife. The alternate tax described
 48 15 in this paragraph does not apply if one spouse elects to carry
 48 16 back or carry forward the a net operating loss as provided
 48 17 under the Internal Revenue Code or in section 422.9, subsection
 48 18 3.
 48 19    3B.  a.  The tax shall not be imposed on a resident or
 48 20 nonresident who is at least sixty=five years old on December
 48 21 31 of the tax year and whose net income, as defined in section
 48 22 422.7, is thirty=two thousand dollars or less in the case
 48 23 of married persons filing jointly or filing separately on a
 48 24 combined return, heads of household, and surviving spouses or
 48 25 twenty=four thousand dollars or less in the case of all other
 48 26 persons; but in the event that the payment of tax under this
 48 27 division would reduce the net income to less than thirty=two
 48 28 thousand dollars or twenty=four thousand dollars as applicable,
 48 29 then the tax shall be reduced to that amount which would result
 48 30 in allowing the taxpayer to retain a net income of thirty=two
 48 31 thousand dollars or twenty=four thousand dollars as applicable.
 48 32 The preceding sentence does not apply to estates or trusts.
 48 33 For the purpose of this subsection, the entire net income,
 48 34 including any part of the net income not allocated to Iowa,
 48 35 shall be taken into account. For purposes of this subsection,
 49  1 net income includes all amounts of pensions or other retirement
 49  2 income, except for military retirement pay excluded under
 49  3 section 422.7, subsection 31A, paragraph "a", or section 422.7,
 49  4 subsection 31B, paragraph "a", received from any source which is
 49  5 not taxable under this division as a result of the government
 49  6 pension exclusions in section 422.7, or any other state law.
 49  7 In calculating net income for purposes of this subsection, any
 49  8 amount of itemized or standard deduction, personal exemption
 49  9 deduction, or qualified business income deduction that was
 49 10 allowed as a deduction in computing federal taxable income
 49 11 under the Internal Revenue Code shall be added back. If the
 49 12 combined net income of a husband and wife exceeds thirty=two
 49 13 thousand dollars, neither of them shall receive the benefit
 49 14 of this subsection, and it is immaterial whether they file a
 49 15 joint return or separate returns. However, if a husband and
 49 16 wife file separate returns and have a combined net income of
 49 17 thirty=two thousand dollars or less, neither spouse shall
 49 18 receive the benefit of this paragraph, if one spouse has a net
 49 19 operating loss and elects to carry back or carry forward the
 49 20 loss as provided under the Internal Revenue Code or in section
 49 21 422.9, subsection 3. A person who is claimed as a dependent by
 49 22 another person as defined in section 422.12 shall not receive
 49 23 the benefit of this subsection if the person claiming the
 49 24 dependent has net income exceeding thirty=two thousand dollars
 49 25 or twenty=four thousand dollars as applicable or the person
 49 26 claiming the dependent and the person's spouse have combined
 49 27 net income exceeding thirty=two thousand dollars or twenty=four
 49 28 thousand dollars as applicable.
 49 29    b.  In lieu of the computation in subsection 1, 2, or 3, if
 49 30 the married persons', filing jointly or filing separately on
 49 31 a combined return, head of household's, or surviving spouse's
 49 32 net income exceeds thirty=two thousand dollars, the regular
 49 33 tax imposed under this division shall be the lesser of the
 49 34 maximum state individual income tax rate times the portion of
 49 35 the net income in excess of thirty=two thousand dollars or the
 50  1 regular tax liability computed without regard to this sentence.
 50  2 Taxpayers electing to file separately shall compute the
 50  3 alternate tax described in this paragraph using the total net
 50  4 income of the husband and wife. The alternate tax described
 50  5 in this paragraph does not apply if one spouse elects to carry
 50  6 back or carry forward the a net operating loss as provided
 50  7 under the Internal Revenue Code or in section 422.9, subsection
 50  8 3.
 50  9    c.  This subsection applies even though one spouse has not
 50 10 attained the age of sixty=five, if the other spouse is at least
 50 11 sixty=five at the end of the tax year.
 50 12    Sec. 107.  Section 422.5A, as enacted in this Act, Code
 50 13 2018, is amended by striking the section and inserting in lieu
 50 14 thereof the following:

 53 25 tracts of land and the improvements and structures located on
 53 26 them which are in good faith used primarily for agricultural
 53 27 purposes except buildings which are primarily used or intended
 53 28 for human habitation.  Land and the nonresidential improvements
 53 29 and structures located on it shall be considered to be used
 53 30 primarily for agricultural purposes if its principal use is
 53 31 devoted to the raising and harvesting of crops or forest or
 53 32 fruit trees, the rearing, feeding, and management of livestock,
 53 33 or horticulture, all for intended profit.  Woodland, wasteland,
 53 34 and pastureland shall qualify but only if such land is held or
 53 35 operated in conjunction with real property that otherwise meets
 54  1 the requirements of this paragraph.
 54  2    (b)  Real property classified as agricultural property for
 54  3 Iowa property tax purposes, except real property described
 54  4 in section 441.21, subsection 12, paragraphs "a" or "b",
 54  5 shall be presumed to be real property used in a farming
 54  6 business.  This presumption is rebuttable by the department by
 54  7 a preponderance of evidence that the real property did not meet
 54  8 the requirements of subparagraph division (a).
 54  9    (5)  "Relative" means an individual that satisfies one or
 54 10 more of the following conditions:
 54 11    (a)  The individual is related to the taxpayer by
 54 12 consanguinity within the second degree as determined by common
 54 13 law.
 54 14    (b)  The individual is a lineal descendent of the taxpayer.
 54 15 For purposes of this subparagraph division, "lineal descendent"
 54 16 means children of the taxpayer, including legally adopted
 54 17 children and biological children, stepchildren, grandchildren,
 54 18 great=grandchildren, and any other lineal descendent of the
 54 19 taxpayer.
 54 20    b.  Subtract the net capital gain from the sale of real
 54 21 property used in a farming business if all of the following
 54 22 conditions are satisfied:
 54 23    (1)  The taxpayer has materially participated in the farming
 54 24 business for a minimum of ten years immediately preceding the
 54 25 sale.
 54 26    (2)  The taxpayer has held the real property used in a
 54 27 farming business for a minimum of ten years immediately
 54 28 preceding the sale.
 54 29    (3)  The real property used in a farming business is sold to
 54 30 a relative of the taxpayer.
 54 31    c.  (1)  If the relative to whom the taxpayer sold the
 54 32 real property used in a farming business that qualified
 54 33 for the deduction in this subsection subsequently sells or
 54 34 otherwise transfers all or part of said real property to a
 54 35 person who is not a relative of the taxpayer within five years
 55  1 of the original sale, the subsequent sale or transfer shall
 55  2 be considered prima facie evidence that the original sale
 55  3 was entered into by the taxpayer primarily to obtain the tax
 55  4 benefits provided in this subsection, and the deduction under
 55  5 this subsection for the original sale shall be disallowed for
 55  6 the taxpayer with respect to that real property subsequently
 55  7 sold or transferred by the relative.
 55  8    (2)  The prima facie determination in subparagraph (1) may be
 55  9 rebutted by the taxpayer by a preponderance of evidence showing
 55 10 that at the time of the original sale by the taxpayer of the
 55 11 real property used in a farming business, all of the following
 55 12 conditions were satisfied:
 55 13    (a)  The taxpayer had a substantial purpose for entering into
 55 14 the sale transaction apart from the state tax benefits.
 55 15    (b)  The taxpayer did not intend that the real property would
 55 16 subsequently be sold or transferred to a person who is not a
 55 17 relative of the taxpayer.
 55 18    (c)  The taxpayer had no actual or constructive knowledge of
 55 19 the buyer's intent to subsequently sell or transfer the real
 55 20 property to a person who is not a relative of the taxpayer.
 55 21    (3)  Notwithstanding section 422.25, subsection 1, paragraph
 55 22 "a", the period of limitation for examination and determination
 55 23 of tax with regard to the deduction provided in this subsection
 55 24 shall be one of the following dates, whichever occurs later:
 55 25    (a)  The date which is three years after the date that the
 55 26 return upon which the deduction in this subsection is claimed
 55 27 is filed.
 55 28    (b)  The date which is three years after the date that the
 55 29 return upon which the deduction in this subsection is claimed
 55 30 is due, including any extensions.
 55 31    (c)  The date which is six years after the date of the sale
 55 32 of the real property used in a farming business for which the
 55 33 deduction in this subsection is claimed.
 55 34    d.  To the extent otherwise allowed, the deduction provided
 55 35 in this subsection is not allowed for purposes of computing the
 56  1 income for the taxable year or years for which a net operating
 56  2 loss is deducted under the Internal Revenue Code or under

 62 20 criteria established pursuant to section 6015 of the Internal
 62 21 Revenue Code.

104 31 to the amounts permitted under the following circumstances:
104 32    (a)  If the marketplace facilitator demonstrates to the
104 33 satisfaction of the department that the marketplace facilitator
104 34 has made a reasonable effort to obtain accurate information
104 35 from the marketplace seller about a retail sale and that
105  1 the failure to collect and remit the correct tax was due to
105  2 incorrect information provided to the marketplace facilitator
105  3 by the marketplace seller, then the marketplace facilitator
105  4 shall be relieved of liability for that retail sale. This
105  5 subparagraph division does not apply with regard to a retail
105  6 sale for which  the marketplace facilitator is the seller or if
105  7 the marketplace facilitator and the seller are affiliates.  For
105  8 Iowa sales for which a marketplace facilitator is relieved of
105  9 liability under this subparagraph division, the marketplace
105 10 seller and purchaser are liable for any amount of uncollected,
105 11 unpaid, or unremitted tax.
105 12    (b)  (i)  Subject to the limitation in subparagraph
105 13 subdivision (ii), if the marketplace facilitator demonstrates
105 14 to the satisfaction of the department that the Iowa sale was
105 15 made or facilitated for a marketplace seller prior to January
105 16 1, 2026, through a marketplace of the marketplace facilitator,
105 17 that the marketplace facilitator is not the seller and that
105 18 the marketplace facilitator and the seller are not affiliates,
105 19 and that the failure to collect sales and use tax was due to
105 20 an error other than an error in sourcing the sale.  To the
105 21 extent that a marketplace facilitator is relieved of liability
105 22 for collection of sales and use tax under this subparagraph
105 23 division, the marketplace seller for whom the marketplace
105 24 facilitator has made or facilitated the Iowa sale is also
105 25 relieved of liability. The department may determine the manner
105 26 in which a marketplace facilitator or marketplace seller shall
105 27 claim the liability relief provided in this subparagraph
105 28 division.
105 29    (ii)  The liability relief provided in subparagraph
105 30 subdivision (i) shall not exceed the following percentage
105 31 of the total sales and use tax due on Iowa sales made or
105 32 facilitated by a marketplace facilitator for marketplace
105 33 sellers and sourced to this state during a calendar year,
105 34 which Iowa sales shall not include sales by the marketplace
105 35 facilitator or affiliates of the marketplace facilitator:
106  1    (A)  For Iowa sales made or facilitated during the 2019
106  2 calendar year, ten percent.
106  3    (B)  For Iowa sales made or facilitated during calendar years
106  4 2020 through 2024, five percent.
106  5    (C)  For Iowa sales made or facilitated during the 2025
106  6 calendar year, three percent.
106  7    (c)  Nothing in this subparagraph (3) shall be construed to
106  8 relieve any person of liability for collecting but failing to
106  9 remit to the department sales and use tax.
106 10    (d)  A marketplace facilitator is deemed to be an agent
106 11 of any marketplace seller making retail sales through a
106 12 marketplace of the marketplace facilitator.
106 13    e.  (1)  A referrer if, for any immediately preceding
106 14 calendar year or a current calendar year, one hundred thousand
106 15 dollars or more in Iowa sales or two hundred or more separate

111  1    c.  Provide the department with annual reports that include
111  2 but are not limited to information relating to purchases,
111  3 purchasers, and Iowa sales.
111  4    3.  a.  The department may adopt rules pursuant to chapter
111  5 17A establishing and imposing penalties as described in and
111  6 subject to the dollar limitations of paragraph "b", provided

111 22 multiplied by the number of purchasers for whom information
111 23 should have been but was not included in the annual report.
111 24    Sec. 205.  Section 423.15, unnumbered paragraph 1, Code
111 25 2018, is amended to read as follows:
111 26    All sales of products tangible personal property, services,
111 27 or specified digital products, except those sales enumerated
111 28 in section 423.16, shall be sourced according to this section
111 29 by sellers obligated to collect Iowa sales and use tax. The
111 30 sourcing rules described in this section apply to sales of
111 31 tangible personal property, specified digital goods products,
111 32 and all services other than telecommunications services. This
111 33 section only applies to determine a seller's obligation to pay
111 34 or collect and remit a Iowa sales or use tax with respect to
111 35 the seller's sale of a product. This section does not affect
112  1 the obligation of a purchaser or lessee to remit tax on the use
112  2 of the product to the taxing jurisdictions in which the use
112  3 occurs. A seller's obligation to collect Iowa sales tax or
112  4 Iowa use tax only occurs if the sale is sourced to this state.
112  5 Whether Iowa sales tax applies to a sale sourced to Iowa shall
112  6 be determined based on the location at which the sale is
112  7 consummated by delivery or, in the case of a service, where the
112  8 first use of the service occurs made by a seller subject to
112  9 section 423.1, subsection 48, or section 423.14A.
112 10    Sec. 206.  Section 423.15, subsection 1, paragraph e, Code
112 11 2018, is amended to read as follows:
112 12    e.  When paragraphs "a", "b", "c", and "d" do not apply,
112 13 including the circumstance where the seller is without
112 14 sufficient information to apply the previous rules, then the
112 15 location will be determined by the address from which tangible
112 16 personal property was shipped, from which the specified digital
112 17 good product or the computer software delivered electronically
112 18 was first available for transmission by the seller, or from
112 19 which the service was provided disregarding for these purposes
112 20 any location that merely provided the digital transfer of the
112 21 product sold.
112 22    Sec. 207.  Section 423.22, Code 2018, is amended to read as
112 23 follows:
112 24    423.22  Taxation in another state.
112 25    If any person who causes tangible personal property or
112 26 specified digital products to be brought into this state or
112 27 who uses in this state services enumerated in section 423.2
112 28 has already paid a tax in another state in respect to the sale
112 29 or use of the property or the performance of the service, or
112 30 an occupation tax in respect to the property or service, in
112 31 an amount less than the tax imposed by subchapter II or III,
112 32 the provisions of those subchapters shall apply, but at a rate
112 33 measured by the difference only between the rate fixed by
112 34 subchapter II or III and the rate by which the previous tax on
112 35 the sale or use, or the occupation tax, was computed. If the
113  1 tax imposed and paid in the other state is equal to or more than
113  2 the tax imposed by those subchapters, then a tax is not due in
113  3 this state on the personal property or service.
113  4    Sec. 208.  Section 423.29, subsection 1, Code 2018, is
113  5 amended to read as follows:
113  6    1.  Every seller who is a retailer and who is making taxable
113  7 sales of tangible personal property or specified digital
113  8 products in Iowa shall, at the time of selling the property
113  9  making the sale, collect the sales tax. Every seller who
113 10 is a retailer maintaining a place of business in this state
113 11  that is not otherwise required to collect sales tax under the
113 12 provisions of this chapter and who is selling tangible personal
113 13 property or specified digital products for use in Iowa shall,
113 14 at the time of making the sale, whether within or without the
113 15 state, collect the use tax. Sellers required to collect sales
113 16 or use tax shall give to any purchaser a receipt for the tax
113 17 collected in the manner and form prescribed by the director.
113 18    Sec. 209.  Section 423.30, subsection 1, Code 2018, is
113 19 amended to read as follows:
113 20    1.  The director may, upon application, authorize the
113 21 collection of the use tax by any seller who is a retailer not
113 22 maintaining a place of business within this state and not
113 23 registered under the agreement, who, to the satisfaction of
113 24 the director, furnishes adequate security to ensure collection
113 25 and payment of the tax. Such sellers shall be issued, without
113 26 charge, permits to collect tax subject to any regulations
113 27 which the director shall prescribe. When so authorized, it
113 28 shall be the duty of foreign sellers to collect the tax upon
113 29 all tangible personal property and specified digital products
113 30  sold, to the retailer's knowledge, for use within this state,
113 31 in the same manner and subject to the same requirements as a
113 32 retailer maintaining a place of business within this state.
113 33 The authority and permit may be canceled when, at any time, the
113 34 director considers the security inadequate, or that tax can
113 35 more effectively be collected from the person using property
114  1 in this state.
114  2    Sec. 210.  Section 423.31, subsection 1, Code 2018, is
114  3 amended to read as follows:
114  4    1.  Each person subject to this section and section 423.36
114  5 and in accordance with the provisions of this section and
114  6 section 423.36 shall, on or before the last day of the month
114  7 following the close of each calendar quarter during which
114  8 such person is or has become or ceased being subject to the
114  9 provisions of this section and section 423.36, make, sign, and
114 10 file a return for the calendar quarter in the form as may be
114 11 required. Returns shall show information relating to sales
114 12 prices including goods, wares, tangible personal property,
114 13 specified digital products, and services converted to the
114 14 use of such person, the amounts of sales prices excluded and
114 15 exempt from the tax, the amounts of sales prices subject to
114 16 tax, a calculation of tax due, and any other information for
114 17 the period covered by the return as may be required. Returns
114 18 shall be signed by the retailer or the retailer's authorized
114 19 agent and must be certified by the retailer to be correct in
114 20 accordance with forms and rules prescribed by the director.
114 21    Sec. 211.  Section 423.31, subsection 5, paragraph a, Code
114 22 2018, is amended to read as follows:
114 23    a.  Upon making application and receiving approval from
114 24 the director, a parent corporation person and its affiliated
114 25 corporations affiliates that make retail sales of tangible
114 26 personal property, specified digital products, or taxable
114 27 enumerated services may make deposits and file a consolidated
114 28 sales tax return for the affiliated group, pursuant to rules
114 29 adopted by the director. A parent corporation person and each
114 30 affiliate corporation that files a consolidated return are
114 31 jointly and severally liable for all tax, penalty, and interest
114 32 found due for the tax period for which a consolidated return is
114 33 filed or required to be filed.
114 34    Sec. 212.  Section 423.32, subsection 1, paragraph b, Code
114 35 2018, is amended to read as follows:
115  1    b.  The deposit form is due on or before the twentieth day of
115  2 the month following the month of collection, except a deposit
115  3 is not required for the third month of the calendar quarter,
115  4 and the total quarterly amount, less the amounts deposited for
115  5 the first two months of the quarter, is due with the quarterly
115  6 report on the last day of the month following the month of
115  7 collection. At that time, the retailer shall file with the
115  8 department a return for the preceding quarterly period in the
115  9 form prescribed by the director showing the purchase price of
115 10 the tangible personal property, specified digital products, and
115 11 services sold by the retailer during the preceding quarterly
115 12 period, the use of which is subject to the use tax imposed
115 13 by this chapter, and other information the director deems
115 14 necessary for the proper administration of the use tax.
115 15    Sec. 213.  Section 423.33, subsection 3, Code 2018, is
115 16 amended to read as follows:
115 17    3.  Event sponsor's liability for sales tax.  A person
115 18 sponsoring a flea market or a craft, antique, coin, or stamp
115 19 show or similar event shall obtain from every retailer selling
115 20 tangible personal property, specified digital products,
115 21  or taxable services at the event proof that the retailer
115 22 possesses a valid sales tax permit or secure from the retailer
115 23 a statement, taken in good faith, that tangible personal
115 24  property, specified digital products, or services offered for
115 25 sale are not subject to sales tax. Failure to do so renders
115 26 a sponsor of the event liable for payment of any sales tax,
115 27 interest, and penalty due and owing from any retailer selling
115 28 property or services at the event. Sections 423.31, 423.32,
115 29 423.37, 423.38, 423.39, 423.40, 423.41, and 423.42 apply to the
115 30 sponsors. For purposes of this subsection, a "person sponsoring
115 31 a flea market or a craft, antique, coin, or stamp show or similar
115 32 event" does not include an organization which sponsors an
115 33 event determined to qualify as an event involving casual sales
115 34 pursuant to section 423.3, subsection 39, or the state fair or
115 35 a fair as defined in section 174.1.
116  1    Sec. 214.  Section 423.33, Code 2018, is amended by adding

116  6 and use tax pursuant to sections 423.14, 423.14A, and 423.29,
116  7 or any other provision of this chapter, fails to do so, all
116  8 affiliates that directly, indirectly, or constructively control
116  9 the retailer shall be jointly and severally liable for any tax,
116 10 penalty, and interest under this chapter, regardless of whether
116 11 the affiliate is a retailer.
116 12    b.  Pursuant to paragraph "a", the department may elect
116 13 to assess the full amount of any tax, penalty, and interest
116 14 against the retailer, an affiliate of the retailer described
116 15 in paragraph "a", or any combination of the retailer and the
116 16 retailer's affiliates described in paragraph "a".

116 21 contrary, the department has the discretion to disregard or
116 22 look through any organizational structure of an enterprise in
116 23 order to assess and collect any tax, penalty, and interest
116 24 against an affiliate that is acting to benefit an affiliate or
116 25 an enterprise of which the affiliate is a part.
116 26    Sec. 215.  Section 423.34, Code 2018, is amended to read as
116 27 follows:

116 31 423.2 upon which the use tax has not been paid, either to the
116 32 county treasurer or to a retailer or direct to the department
116 33 as required by this subchapter, shall be liable for the payment
116 34 of tax, and shall on or before the last day of the month next
116 35 succeeding each quarterly period pay the use tax upon all
117  1 property or services used by the person during the preceding
117  2 quarterly period in the manner and accompanied by such returns
117  3 as the director shall prescribe. All of the provisions of

117  5 payments shall be applicable to the returns and payments
117  6 required by this section.

122  1 sales and services tax shall be imposed on the same basis as

122 34 than one county, and the tax shall be imposed in each of those
122 35 contiguous cities only if a majority of those voting on the tax
