Only sales that are made by retail establishments in the area are taken into consideration when the sales subject to tax are determined. Sales otherwise sourced to the area are not considered in the calculation. 272.3(3) Identification of retailers. Each governmental entity that has established a project under Iowa Code chapter 418 must notify the department of retail establishments in the governmental entity’s applicable area that are collecting sales tax as soon as possible. This process shall be ongoing until the governmental entity ceases to utilize sales tax revenue under Iowa Code chapter 418.
