I recently completed an economic impact analysis for Missoula County, Montana. However, the output table for state and local taxes includes "sales taxes". Please see attached. Montana is one of 4 states with no sales tax and Missoula County and City have no sales taxes. How can the IMPLAN data produce sales tax impacts?

  Hi. The Sales Tax category has an impact because there is more than goes into this than General Sales Tax. Taxes that are generally levied by state and local governments as a percentage of the commodity's price are classified as Sales Taxes in IMPLAN. Some selective sales taxes are levied on a specific commodity at a percentage that differs from that of the general sales tax. They include taxes on motor fuels, tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, public utilities, meals, hotel occupancy, and amusements.
