Fuel tax break for farm equipment

Beginning July 1, 2026, Iowa exempts some fuel from the state excise tax. The fuel must be gasoline with more than 85% ethanol. You must buy it at a terminal or refinery rack. It must be used only in an implement of husbandry (farm equipment) for agricultural production. To claim the break, the purchaser must sign an exemption certificate from the Department of Revenue, and the supplier must keep it for at least three years. Without a certificate, the Department disallows the exempt sale and tax applies. If the purchaser later uses or sells the fuel in a nonexempt way, the purchaser must pay the excise tax directly to the Department.
