Iowa Admin. Code r. 701—204.5(423) — Purchaser refund procedures

Iowa law allows a purchaser to seek a return of overcollected sales or use taxes from the seller who collected them. More information is contained in Iowa Code section 423.45(2). In connection with any purchaser’s request of a seller that the seller return sales or use tax alleged to have been overcollected, the seller to whom the request is directed shall be rebuttably presumed to have a reasonable business practice if, in the collection of such sales or use tax, the seller uses either a provider or a system, including a proprietary system, which is certified by this state and has remitted all taxes collected by the use of that provider system to the department, less any deductions, credits, or collection allowances.
