蒙大拿州参议院共和党领袖力挺州长单一税率计划：4.7%统一税率拟2027年会期推进
蒙大拿州参议院议长 Matt Regier 已要求起草一份「降低蒙大拿州所得税率」的法案，配合州长 Greg Gianforte 在其最后任期的2027年立法会期推动4.7%的单一所得税率。现行蒙大拿州所得税为两档：单身申报收入6.5万美元以下、联合申报13万美元以下适用4.7%，更高档为5.4%。
州税务部上月的一份报告估计，若统一税率在2028年实施，每年将减少约1.3亿美元收入，2029年起才温和增长。海伦娜选出的州参议员 Mary Ann Dunwell 批评该计划「极具累退性」，并指出公共卫生与公共服务正面临资金短缺。蒙大拿是全美仅有的四个不征销售税的州之一，所得税改革对其财政结构影响格外直接。州长 Gianforte 称，单一税率是「最好的政策」。

Montana Senate GOP Leader Backs Governor's Flat Tax Plan: Single 4.7% Rate Eyed for 2027 Session
Montana Senate President Matt Regier has requested drafting of a bill to "reduce the Montana income tax rate," backing Governor Greg Gianforte's push for a single 4.7 percent income tax rate in the 2027 legislative session, the governor's final term. Montana currently has two brackets: 4.7 percent on income up to $65,000 for single filers and $130,000 for joint filers, and 5.4 percent above that.
A state Department of Revenue report last month estimated that a flat rate implemented in 2028 would cut revenue by about $130 million a year, with only modest growth from 2029. Helena state senator Mary Ann Dunwell criticized the plan as highly regressive and pointed to funding shortages in public health and public services. Montana is one of only four states with no sales tax, making income tax reform especially consequential for its fiscal structure. Governor Gianforte calls a single rate "the best policy."
