Trading stamps tax bill killed in Montana House
The Montana House quickly disposed of a bill to tax trading stamps’ gross profits, killing the measure after an unfavorable ways and means report. The proposed 5 percent tax would have raised about 90 000 dollars a year on 1.8 million dollars in trading stamp sales, but lobbyists argued it singled out a form of promotion and was unconstitutional. Rep. Bob Harper did not appear. Rep. Jack Gunderson carried the bill, citing consumer interest.
