The Montana Sales Tax Increase Referendum, also known as LR-111, was on the June 8, 1993 ballot in Montana as a legislatively referred state statute, where it was defeated.
If LR-111 had been approved by the state's voters, it would have reduced income and property taxes and enacted a 4 percent general sales and use tax, with some exemptions. The measure would have given low-income households and renters refundable tax credits and repealed the property tax freeze initiative of 1986.[1][2]
