# Registering for a Iowa sales tax permit

Iowa's state sales tax rate is 6%, local taxes come on top, and its remote seller threshold is $100,000 in sales, measured over the current or prior calendar year. If your business has crossed it and needs a permit, we prepare and submit the Iowa registration through revenue.iowa.gov/taxes/tax-guidance/sales-use-excise-tax/remote-sellers-marketplace-facilitators for $99, plus any state fee at cost.
