Section 701.17.33. Sales of building materials, supplies and equipment to not-for-profit rural water districts.

Retroactive to July 1, 1998, sales of building materials, supplies, and equipment to not-for-profit rural water districts (those organized under Iowa Code chapter 504A and as provided by Iowa Code chapter 357A), which are used by the districts for the construction of their facilities, are exempt from tax. See rule 701—19.3(422,423) for definitions of the terms “building materials,” “building supplies,” and “building equipment” which are applicable to this rule. Additionally, for the purposes of this rule, cranes, underground boring machines, water main pulling equipment, and similar machinery used by a rural water district for the construction of its facilities are “building equipment.” This rule does not exempt rentals of building equipment from tax, but a rural water district’s rentals of building equipment may be exempt from tax if the rental is on or in connection with new construction, alteration, reconstruction, remodeling, or expansion of real property or a structure. See rule 701—19.13(422,423).

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 422.45 as amended by 1999 Iowa Acts, chapter 59.
