With the federal government eliminating job-killing regulations and the implementation of The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, it has led to national economic growth. Many states are using this as an opportunity to lower income tax rates.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2018, Iowa passed legislation that lowered the top individual income tax rate to 8.53 percent effective 2019.\u00a0 That rate is scheduled to be cut to 6.5 percent in 2023. However, that rate cut is dependent on a two-part revenue trigger requiring General Fund revenues to equal or exceed $8.3 billion as well as revenue increasing by a minimum of 4 percent by the end of fiscal year 2022.\u00a0 At this time, Iowa\u2019s revenues are expected to meet the $8.3 billion requirement, but the second trigger of 4 percent growth is more problematic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The use of revenue triggers in state tax policy is a good idea, but creating a high threshold can unnecessarily delay tax rate reductions. Iowa\u2019s economy is doing well with low unemployment and a stable budget with an estimated $470<\/a> million surplus. As a result of a strong national and state economy, policymakers should not delay further income tax relief.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Governor Kim Reynolds recently proposed the Invest in Iowa Act<\/a>, a comprehensive tax reform plan calling for further income tax reductions. \u00a0Part of the Invest in Iowa Act calls<\/a> for a one-cent sales tax increase. The reason for the proposed sales tax increase is in response to the 2010 voter-approved Natural Resources and Outdoor Recreation trust fund. Governor Reynolds has proposed that the first 3\/8th<\/sup> of the one-cent sales tax increase will be dedicated to the trust fund, while the remainder will be used for income tax relief. She argues that any sales tax increase must be offset by actual income tax relief.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Governor Reynolds has also called<\/a> for a 10 percent income tax cut in 2021 and lowering the top rate to 5.5 percent in 2023. In the process, the 4 percent growth requirement would be repealed. By 2023, Iowa\u2019s personal income tax brackets would be reduced to only four tax rate brackets.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The legislature is still considering tax reform, but regardless, if nothing else is done, the 4 percent growth requirement should be repealed. Further income tax rate reductions should not be slowed or prevented by a 4 percent growth trigger, and taxpayers should not have to take a backseat to more government spending in order to meet this arbitrary requirement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lowering Iowa\u2019s high-income tax rates must be a top priority because they punish growth and productivity. They also make Iowa less economically competitive with other states. It is time for policymakers to unshackle Iowans from the ball and chain of high taxation and lower Iowa\u2019s income tax rates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
