Section 701.231.10. Exempt sales of prizes.

The sales price from sales of tangible personal property which will be given as prizes to players in games of skill, games of chance, raffles, and bingo games as defined in and lawful under Iowa Code chapter 99B is exempt from tax. See department of inspections and appeals’ 481—Chapters 100 through 106, Iowa Administrative Code, for a description of the games of skill, games of chance, raffles, and bingo games which are lawful. See rule 481—100.6(99B) for a description of the prizes which may be lawfully awarded. A gift certificate is not tangible personal property. If a person wins a gift certificate as a prize and then redeems the gift certificate for merchandise, tax is payable at the time the gift certificate is redeemed. Reference 701—15.16(422,423).

This rule is intended to implement 2005 Iowa Code subsection 423.3(62).
