Data center businesses—refund requests, 230.13(7)“d”
ARC 5840C
REVENUE DEPARTMENT[701]
Adopted and Filed
Rule making related to data center businesses and refund requests
The Revenue Department hereby amends Chapter 230, "Exemptions Primarily Benefiting Manufacturers and Other Persons Engaged in Processing," Iowa Administrative Code.
Legal Authority for Rule Making
This rule making is adopted under the authority provided in Iowa Code section 421.14.
State or Federal Law Implemented
This rule making implements, in whole or in part, Iowa Code section 423.4.
Purpose and Summary
The Department is incorporating the sales and use tax refund request process for data center businesses into its new tax administration system. The prior rule implementing the refund for data center businesses required that an affidavit be filed by the business before the business can file a refund claim. The Department adopted this rule making to allow businesses to submit the refund claim form and the affidavit simultaneously, after which the Department will review the affidavit prior to reviewing the refund claim form. This change makes it easier for data center businesses to provide the information required to request a refund.
