EXAMPLE: Seller X is an Iowa-based business, with property and personnel located in Iowa. Seller X has $80,000 in gross revenue from Iowa sales. Seller X makes $10,000 of gross revenue from Iowa sales through a marketplace facilitator that collects Iowa sales tax and applicable local option sales tax. The remaining $70,000 in gross revenue comes from Iowa sales made at Seller X's storefront in Iowa. Seller X must collect and remit Iowa sales tax and applicable local option sales tax on the $70,000 in nonmarketplace sales. On its Iowa sales tax return, Seller X should report $80,000 in gross revenue from sales. Seller X may take a deduction on its Iowa sales tax return of $10,000 for sales on which the marketplace collected Iowa sales tax and applicable local option sales tax.
