Rule Hearing Pertaining to the MEDIA Act

Friday May 8, 2020, the Montana Department of Revenue will hold a rule hearing pertaining to their Administrative Rules concerning the MEDIA Act (film tax credit). This is the first tax incentive of this kind for the industry in Montana, so it’s important to read the proposed rules carefully and evaluate.  Public comment is very important to the process of creating programs and their administrative processes. This hearing does not have an in-person element.  It is all being held remotely.
