A bill for an act exempting the sale of toilet paper from the sales tax.
HF 1019 is a bill that exempts the sale of toilet paper from sales tax in Iowa. This means that consumers purchasing toilet paper would no longer pay the state's sales tax on these items. The bill amends Section 423.3 of the Code 2025 to add toilet paper to the list of sales tax exemptions. Due to existing state law, this exemption also applies to the use tax on toilet paper.
