Montana SB536 revises the contractor gross receipts tax by exempting individuals and businesses in full compliance with state income, payroll, and property tax obligations.

The exemption applies to public contractors, defined as those performing public construction work exceeding $80,000. The act also grants rulemaking authority to the Department to ensure exemption accuracy.
