NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED AMENDMENT

 

TO: All Concerned Persons

 

1. On November 19, 2015, at 1:30 p.m., the Department of Revenue will hold a public hearing in the Third Floor Reception Area 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 conference 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 advise the department of the nature of the accommodation needed no later than 5 p.m. on November 9, 2015. 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 lalogan@mt.gov.

 

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.

The department has considered the small business impact study requirements of 2-4-111, MCA, and determined that with the exception of ARM 42.21.123, the proposed amendments to the above-stated rules will not significantly and directly impact small businesses. For detail on how the proposed amendments to ARM 42.21.123 could significantly and directly impact some small businesses, see the supplemental reason statement for ARM 42.21.123 and also the department's small business impact analysis for this proposal notice, MAR Notice No. 42-2-946, located at revenue.mt.gov/rules.

This general statement of reasonable necessity applies to all of the following proposed rule amendments and has been supplemented as appropriate for any further amendments.

 

4. The rules proposed to be amended provide as follows, new matter underlined, deleted matter interlined:

 

42.21.113 LEASED AND RENTAL EQUIPMENT (1) remains the same.

(a) For equipment that has an acquired cost of $0 to $500, the department shall use a four-year trended depreciation schedule. The trended schedule will be the same as ARM 42.21.155, category 1.

IMP: 15-6-135, 15-6-138, 15-6-202, 15-6-219, MCA

 

REASON: The department proposes further amending ARM 42.21.113 to add a bottom row exclusively for older years in tables (a) through (c) to more precisely apply a 5 percent to 25 percent residual value as described in ARM 42.21.155(1).

 

42.21.123 FARM MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT (1) remains the same.

(2) The market value for farm machinery and equipment shall be the "average wholesale" value most current quick sale as shown in the Iron Solutions, Northwest Region Official Guide, Fall Edition, for the year previous to online version of the Green Guide known as the Equipment Watch, as of October of the year prior to the year of the assessment appraisal. This online guide may be reviewed in the department or purchased from the publisher: North American Equipment Dealers Association, 1195 Smizer Mill Road, Fenton, Missouri 63026-3480 at equipmentwatch.com or Dataquest, 1290 Ridder Park Drive, San Jose, California 95131.

(3) For all farm machinery and equipment that cannot be valued under (2), the department has developed a manual to value the equipment. This manual will be used in conjunction with the depreciation schedule in (5) when valuing farm equipment and machinery. The purpose of the manual developed by the department is to arrive at values which approximate average wholesale quick sale value. The department's farm machinery manual is hereby incorporated by reference. Customers can contact the department to obtain copies.

(4) and (5) remain the same.

(6) A trended average wholesale quick sale value shall be applied to equipment if:

(a) the equipment cannot be valued under (2) but an average wholesale a quick sale value is available for the same make and model with a different year new; and

(b) the equipment cannot be valued under (4) or the value as calculated under (4) results in a higher value being placed on a piece of farm equipment than the last year listed in the current Official Guide mentioned guide cited in (2) for the same make and model. The trended average wholesale quick sale value for farm equipment shall be ascertained by trending the average wholesale quick sale as found in the guide in (2), for the same make and model with a different year new. The trend factors are the same as those mentioned in (4).

(7) If the methods mentioned in (2) through (5) cannot be used to ascertain average wholesale quick sale value for farm machinery and equipment, the owner or applicant must certify to the department the year acquired and the acquired price before that value can be applied to the schedule in (8).

(8) The trended depreciation schedule referred to in (2) through (6) is listed below and shall be used for tax year 2015 2016. The schedule is derived by using the guidebook listed in (2) as the data base. The values derived through use of the trended depreciation schedule will approximate average wholesale quick sale value.

REASON: The department proposes further amending ARM 42.21.123 to change the farm machinery valuation source. Each year the department performs valuation look-ups and calculates the depreciation trends for the coming year using values that are available at that time. The department has been using an online valuation guide for heavy equipment since 2010. That online guide now also includes farm machinery values.

Therefore, the department proposes transitioning to this single online source for valuing both heavy equipment and farm machinery beginning in 2016. The proposed transition to using the online Equipment Watch guide will save the department in excess of $20,000 in subscription fees annually because the proposed change eliminates the need for the department to separately purchase hard copies of the Iron Solutions Northwest Region Official Guide to use for valuing farm machinery.

Owners of farm machinery and equipment will notice a significant change, either up or down depending on the model year of the equipment, in the trended good percentage table during the first year of this proposed transition. For example, as proposed in the table amendments for 2016 using the online Equipment Watch guide, farm machinery and equipment acquired new in 2015 will see a trended percentage wholesale change from 75 percent good down to 54 percent good. At the same time, equipment acquired new in 2004 will have a trended percentage wholesale change from 35 percent up to 38 percent. However, after this initial transition year, the department expects future valuation differences to stabilize and the percentages in the chart to fluctuate minimally from year-to-year as they have historically.

 

42.21.131 HEAVY EQUIPMENT (1) The wholesale market value of heavy equipment shall be the most current quick sale as shown in the "Green Guide" and "Green Guide for Older Equipment" or the on-line online version of the Green Guide known as Equipment Watch, as of January 1 of October of the year prior to the year of assessment appraisal. This online guide may be reviewed in the department or purchased from the publisher and is incorporated by reference: Dataquest, 1290 Ridder Park Drive, San Jose, California 95131.

(2) For all heavy equipment which cannot be valued under (1), the department shall try to ascertain the original FOB (free on board value) through old heavy equipment valuation guidebooks. If an original FOB cannot be ascertained, the department may use trending to determine the FOB. The FOB or "trended" FOB will be used in conjunction with the depreciation schedule in (5) to arrive at a value which approximates wholesale value. The trend factors are calculated using the most recent Contractor's Equipment factors available in the Marshall & Swift Valuation Service Guide for the year of assessment appraisal. The Marshall & Swift Valuation Service Guide, published by Marshall and Swift Publication Company, 915 Wilshire Boulevard, 8th Floor, P.O. Box 26307, Los Angeles, California 90026-0307, is adopted by reference.

(3) and (4) remain the same.

(5) The trended depreciation schedule referred to in (2), (3), and (4) is listed below and shall be used for tax year 2015 2016. The values derived through the use of these percentages approximate the "quick sale" values as calculated in provided in the guidebooks listed in (1).

REASON: The department proposes further amending ARM 42.21.131 to strike outdated references to hardcopy valuation guides in (1). The department has fully transitioned away from using the hardcopy guides to use of the online guide. This has improved efficiency and created subscription cost savings. The department further proposes amending (1) to clarify that heavy equipment assessments are based on values determined in the fall of the year prior to the year of appraisal and replacing the word "assessment" with "appraisal" to reflect the term currently used.

REASON: The department proposes further amending ARM 42.21.155 to add a bottom row exclusively for "older" years in all of the tables to more precisely apply "a 5 percent to 20 percent residual" value as described in (1).

 

42.22.1311 INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT TREND FACTORS (1) The trend factors will be used to value industrial machinery and equipment for ad valorem tax purposes pursuant to ARM 42.22.1306. The department uses annual cost indexes from the Marshall & Swift Valuation Service Guide. The current index is divided by the annual index for each year to arrive at a trending factor. Each major industry has its own trend table. Where no index existed in the Marshall & Swift Valuation Service Guide for a particular industry, that industry was grouped with other industries using similar equipment. The department will utilize the machinery and equipment trend factors that are set forth in the following tables: tables in (2) and (3).

(2) remains the same.

(3) Tables 1 through 32 represent the yearly trend factors for each of the categories.

IMP: 15-6-138, 15-8-111, MCA

 

REASON: The department proposes further amending ARM 42.22.1311 to correct a punctuation error in (1).

 

5. Concerned persons may submit their data, views, or arguments, either orally or in writing, at the hearing. Written data, views, or arguments may also be submitted to: 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 lalogan@mt.gov and must be received no later than December 1, 2015.

 

6. Laurie Logan, Department of Revenue, Director's Office, has been designated to preside over and conduct this hearing.

 

7. The Department of Revenue maintains a list of interested persons who wish to receive notices of rulemaking actions proposed by this agency. Persons who wish to have their name added to the list shall make a written request that includes the name and e-mail or mailing address of the person to receive notices and specifies that the person wishes to receive notice regarding a particular subject matter or matters. Notices will be sent by e-mail unless a mailing preference is noted in the request. A written request may be mailed or delivered to the person in 5 above or faxed to the office at (406) 444-3696, or may be made by completing a request form at any rules hearing held by the Department of Revenue.

 

8. An electronic copy of this notice is available on the department's web site at revenue.mt.gov/rules. The department strives to make the electronic copy of this notice conform to the official version of the notice, as printed in the Montana Administrative Register, but advises all concerned persons that in the event of a discrepancy between the official printed text of the notice and the electronic version of the notice, only the official printed text will be considered. While the department also strives to keep its web site accessible at all times, in some instances it may be temporarily unavailable due to system maintenance or technical problems.

 

9. The bill sponsor contact requirements of 2-4-302, MCA, do not apply.

 

10. With regard to the requirements of 2-4-111, MCA, the department has determined that the amendment of ARM 42.21.123 will significantly and directly impact small businesses that own and pay property tax on farm machinery and equipment. The department has determined that the amendment of the remaining above-stated rules will not significantly and directly impact small businesses. The department's impact analysis is available at revenue.mt.gov/rules or upon request from the person in 5.
