Possible sales tax in Montana.

The House Taxation Committee has tabled a bill passed by the Senate which would have enacted a 4% sales tax, among other tax credits and refunds. However, another bill was approved by the Committee which had already passed the Senate, proposing a 5% sales and use tax on accommodations and campgrounds, a 9% sales and use tax on the base rental charge for rental vehicles, personal income tax relief, and an increase in the tobacco tax. (S.B. 470, tables in House Taxation Committee, April 10, 2003; S.B. 407, concurred as amended in House Taxation Committee, April 10, 2003.)
