TO: All Concerned Persons
1. On November 9, 2016, at 1 p.m., the Department of Revenue will hold a public hearing in the Third Floor East Conference Room of the Sam W. Mitchell Building, located at 125 North Roberts, Helena, Montana, to consider the proposed amendment of the above-stated rules. The hearing room is most readily accessed by entering through the east doors of the building facing Sanders Street.
2. The Department of Revenue will make reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities who wish to participate in this public hearing or need an alternative accessible format of this notice. If you require an accommodation, contact the department no later than 5 p.m. on October 31, 2016, to advise us of the nature of the accommodation you need. Please contact Laurie Logan, Department of Revenue, Director's Office, P.O. Box 7701, Helena, Montana 59604-7701; telephone (406) 444-7905; fax (406) 444-3696; or e-mail [email protected].
3. GENERAL STATEMENT OF REASONABLE NECESSITY. The department uses data from the guides and valuation manuals listed in its rules to determine the trended depreciation schedules published in those rules. Personal property is valued annually and because the trend tables used to value personal property change from year to year, the department must provide taxpayers with notice of those changes and does so through the rulemaking process. The annual update to the trended depreciation schedules provides taxpayers with the current depreciation percentage for each of the personal property classifications for the upcoming year. The updates also clearly identify for the taxpayer how the department values and depreciates property over time.
ARM 42.21.157 requires the department to update the depreciation schedules of tangible personal property on an annual basis. The annual changes affect all businesses with tangible personal property. By annually updating the depreciation schedules the department accounts for the impact an additional year of wear and tear has on the value of tangible personal property. Small businesses would see a negative impact if these tables were not updated. Therefore, it is reasonably necessary to update the trend tables to reflect any changes for the upcoming year.
This general statement of reasonable necessity applies to all of the following proposed rule amendments. A supplemental statement of reasonable necessity has been provided for ARM 42.22.1311 only, to explain an additional proposed amendment to that rule.
4. The rules proposed to be amended provide as follows, new matter underlined, deleted matter interlined:
