Is a Severance Tax on Mining Constitutional

Record #:
18647
Abstract:
Based on a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing severance taxes to be imposed on mining in Montana, the state was reviewing the possibilities of enacting similar legislation for mining within its boundaries. Specifically, state legislators were considering a tax on the state's phosphate production. The article reviews how much money would be generated from such a tax and how the revenue would be distributed.
