Montana Lawmakers Plan Tax Policy Review
Montana lawmakers will take a comprehensive look at state and local tax policy over the next two years. Legislators say a changing economy and increasing population means Montana should consider new ways of collecting taxes.
Lawmakers identified tax policy review as their top study priority for the legislative interim, according to a poll of lawmakers that was released Wednesday.
The need for this kind of analysis was highlighted by policymakers and legislative observers during the fallout of Montana’s budget collapse in 2017.
