Most companies and organizations don’t have the resources for research and lobbying necessary to keep on top of hot issues that can seriously affect their business. 

At ITA we are committed to working on your behalf as well as allowing you a voice on issues that can have a serious impact on you and your business.
 
  • ITA is known and respected at the Iowa Capitol for work on both sides of the political aisle. ITA provides objective, straightforward analysis and commentary on business tax policy issues.
