Revenue Director Mark Schuling to Head FTA
Iowa Department of Revenue Director Mark Schuling is set to become the President of The Federation of Tax Administrators (FTA) in the next few weeks. On Tuesday, June 15, the newly elected President, West Virginia Tax Commissioner, died suddenly. Because Director Schuling was recently elected First Vice President he will now go before the organization at a Board of Directors meeting next week to be voted President. FTA is an organization comprised of all of the state tax commissioners.
The Federation of Tax Administrators (FTA) was organized in 1937 to improve the quality of state tax administration by providing services to state tax authroities and administrators. These services include research and information exchange, training, and intergovernmental and interstate coordination. The Federation also represents the interests of state tax administration before federal policymakers where appropriate.

ITA's Priority for 2009-2010
Over the years, the nonpartisan Iowa Taxpayers Association has developed a set of basic beliefs when it comes to implementing and sustaining successful tax policy. Taxes are a very important part of the economic development equation as they contribute significantly to the relative attractiveness of our business climate. Tax policy should provide stability and predictablity that creates a climate of consistency in which business leaders are more assured in making long-term business decisions.
ITA represents a broad spectrum of business taxpayers in Iowa - small and large companies, manufacturers, multi-national corporations, C-corporations, Sub-S corporations, accounting and law firms, and other professional associations. Our members, representing these various backgrounds, work together with the goal of making Iowa a positive, competitive environment in which to do business.
The Iowa Taxpayers Association is proud to remain Iowa's leading business tax policy resource and will continue to fulfill its mission to educate and inform Iowans and policymakers on tax and spending policies in 2009 and beyond.
