Tax plan eyed to boost state funds and licenses
State officials propose directing a cent to the School Foundation Program, adding 17.3 million to the general fund. Raising the corporate license tax to 6 percent could yield an extra 3 million over two years, with 75 percent of such revenue flowing to the general fund. Other license and severance tax hikes aim to lift several million more in traditional revenue. Montanans currently receive a 5 percent individual income tax credit. See TAX PLAN Page 2.
