Is the replacement tax, which is being called the “limited sales tax,” a broad-based sales tax?
No. Based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Institute for Tourism and Recreation Research at the University of Montana, the limited sales tax recommended by the Governor narrowly focuses the tax on those goods and services of which nonresidents purchase a high percentage. Sharing tax burdens is what other states do, and what Montana does with our accommodations tax on motel rooms, and what several of our resort communities do with the resort tax.
