Montana oil and gas group calls for tax burden overhaul
Basil Andrikopoulos of the Rocky Mountain Oil and Gas Association urged the Montana Taxation Education Commission to equalize the tax burden across industries and make Montana’s taxes more competitive with neighboring states. He proposed repealing the 1919 classification law, accelerating equalization, reassessing, and reforming the oil license tax, plus a fair pipeline assessment formula. Reid of the Board of Equalization defended current pipeline valuation as the value of operations, noting interstate pipelines are taxed differently in other states.
