Iowa farms get a fuel tax break
Beginning July 1, 2026, Iowa exempts qualifying farm gasoline purchases from its fuel excise tax. The gasoline must contain more than 85% ethanol by volume and be bought at a terminal or refinery rack. It must be bought exclusively for agricultural production in an implement of husbandry, a type of farm equipment. Buyers must obtain an Iowa Department of Revenue exemption certificate and provide it complete, correct, and signed. Suppliers must keep certificates for at least three years; the department must deny exemptions without certificate proof. Buyers who use or dispose of the fuel for a nonexempt purpose alone owe the tax and must pay the department directly.
