Iowa HF141 imposes a sales tax on items containing traceable amounts of piper methysticum, commonly known as kava.

Iowa HF141 amends the state's sales tax code to include a tax on the sales price of items containing traceable amounts of piper methysticum, also known as kava. This tax applies to kava products but excludes them from the broader category of food and food ingredients. The bill specifies that the tax does not apply to alcoholic beverages, candy, dietary supplements, food sold through vending machines, or prepared food, soft drinks, tobacco, or kava. This change aims to generate revenue through the taxation of kava products while clarifying their exclusion from other taxed food categories.
