S.F. 185 Section 1. Section 423.3, subsection 57, paragraph d, Code 1 2013, is amended to read as follows: 2 d. “Food and food ingredients” means substances, whether 3 in liquid, concentrated, solid, frozen, dried, or dehydrated 4 form, that are sold for ingestion or chewing by humans and are 5 consumed for their taste or nutritional value. “Food and food 6 ingredients” includes beverage-grade carbon dioxide gas. 7 EXPLANATION 8 This bill relates to the administration of the sales and use 9 taxes under the streamlined sales and use tax agreement. 10 Iowa is a member of the streamlined sales and use tax 11 agreement, which is an effort to administer state sales and 12 use taxes in all participating states according to the same 13 simplified system. Under the agreement, Iowa must periodically 14 make changes in the administration of the sales and use 15 taxes in order to remain in compliance. The governing board 16 of the streamlined sales and use tax agreement considers 17 beverage-grade carbon dioxide gas to be a “food and food 18 ingredient”. 19 This bill amends the definition of “food and food 20 ingredients” to include beverage-grade carbon dioxide gas. 21 -1- LSB 1260SV (1) 85 mm/sc 1/ 1
