MHA Nation signs agreement with North Dakota to change unfair alcohol tax structure on Fort Berthold Reservation
New tax revenue will help fund essential services on reservation
Bismarck, ND—At a signing ceremony at the North Dakota State Capitol, MHA Nation Chairman Mark Fox, Governor Doug Burgum, and North Dakota Tax Commissioner Brian Kroshus signed an agreement between the Tribe and the state of North Dakota that outlines a tax revenue sharing plan for alcohol sold on the reservation.
The agreement will allow the MHA Nation to keep 80% of all tax revenue from alcohol sales on its reservation, while 20% goes to the state. Previously, 100% of all alcohol tax revenue, generating millions of dollars, went solely to the state.
The Tribe will allocate all funds from alcohol tax revenue toward addiction treatment, law enforcement, community safety, and wellness programs.
“MHA’s agreement with the state is a long time in the making. I am proud to say this agreement will lead to more opportunities and stronger programs for our tribal citizens,” said MHA Nation Chairman Mark Fox. “I want to thank Governor Burgum, the Office of State Tax Commissioner, and the state legislature for working with us to come up with a fair plan that benefits everyone.”
In March 2023, Governor Burgum signed a bill that gave the five tribal nations of North Dakota an opportunity to impose a single tax on alcoholic beverages sold by retailers and wholesalers on their reservations.
The MHA Nation is the first North Dakota tribe to sign an agreement with the state.
