1. Purpose of the Website

Flat. Fair. Montana. is a public policy and educational initiative focused on Montana tax policy, including proposals to simplify Montana’s individual income tax system and establish a flat income tax rate.

The Website provides educational materials, research, analysis, commentary, news, event information, and opportunities for members of the public to learn more about and engage with the initiative.

2. Economic Research and Projections

The Website may contain economic studies, estimates, forecasts, models, or projections regarding tax policy and its potential effects on economic growth, employment, wages, government revenue, or individual taxpayers.

Such projections are estimates based on assumptions and economic modeling. They are not guarantees of future results. Actual outcomes may differ because of economic conditions, legislative decisions, taxpayer behavior, changes in law, and other factors.

Where appropriate, users should consult the underlying research and methodology for additional information.
