Iowa simplified its taxes in 2025 - the state replaced its old graduated income-tax brackets with a single flat rate of 3.8%, one of the lowest flat income-tax rates in the country. On the sales side, a 6% state sales tax applies, and most jurisdictions add a 1% local-option sales tax on top (about 7% combined); the corporate rate is falling toward a flat 5.5% as well. With a flat income tax and a straightforward sales tax, the work is keeping income, sales, and payroll records clean - and that's exactly what we do.
