Just remember, that is the same Legislature that wants to tack another $1.50 per pack on cigarettes. The thinking is that such a tax will raise revenue and encourage people to quit smoking.
I will admit, it does help with quitting. The last time they did this it was "only" $1 per pack "To help pay for the Children's Health Insurance Program." When the tax went into effect, I finished the cigarettes I had on hand, and quit.
There are so few vehicles that have a retail value of $150,000 or more in Montana that making money for the state by taxing them is a pipe dream. It makes me wonder what those guys (and gals) in Helena have in their pipes! I think the "average" Montana wage earner finds the whole thing rather hilarious. Just another reason to: 1. Never buy such an ostentatious rig. and 2. Buy rigs 11 years old or older, then put PERMANENT license plates on them. Yeah, you will pay three years worth of taxes, but then you never have to renew the registration as long as you own it.
That bill will have little or no effect on the majority of Montanans, and probably not effect the LLC market all that much either.
