Expenditures and Taxation of Montana Mining Industry
The statute outlines how mining expenditures must be reported for net proceeds taxes, detailing allowed costs for labor, machinery, and transportation. It argues that surface value, improvements, and all mining-related property are taxed, and defends the net proceeds tax as fair, necessary, and uniquely suited to mining’s uncertain, exhaustible nature.
