Taxation of lignite mining in Montana and North Dakota

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6224048
;
This paper compares taxes on lignite mining in North Dakota and Montana, using the ENERGYTAX simulation model. While severance tax payments are similar - $0.88 per ton in North Dakota compared to $0.94 to $1.07 in Montana - the total tax bill is much less in North Dakota. A model 2 million ton lignite mine, producing fuel for a mine-mouth thermogenerator, would pay State and local taxes of $1.44 per ton in Montana, but only $0.96 in North Dakota. Much of the additional tax in Montana results from including gross proceeds of the mine in the local property tax base.
