Rehearing Denied in Theater Tax Suit Keeps $80,000 Flowing
The Montana Supreme Court denied a rehearing in the theater tax case, upholding a new statewide interpretation of the tax law. The measure requires theater operators to pay 3 percent of gross receipts over 2,000 per quarter, with first payments due October 1. The ruling confirms the tax raises about 16,000 annually and applies to operators with multiple venues, each calculating after deductions. The case involved Havre theater operator Jon Bo Griffin and challenged the law’s validity under two statutory structures.
