     15-31-143. Return and payment on corporate dissolution. (1) It is hereby declared that the policy of the state of Montana, both at the time of the enactment of the corporation license tax law and at all times since, has been and still is that every corporation doing business in Montana shall pay an excise tax for the exercise of such privilege and that the amount of such tax shall be based upon the total taxable net income of such corporations during the entire period of time they are engaged in business in this state. No remission of that obligation for the last year in which a corporation engages in business in Montana was intended by the original enactment of this section.
     (2) Therefore, every corporation which shall be dissolved or cease to do business in Montana at any time during any year shall, before such dissolution or cessation of business, make a return and pay the corporation license tax determined on the basis of its net income for the final period in which it did business in this state at the rate provided in 15-31-121 and 15-31-122, in addition to all other corporation license taxes for which such corporation may then be liable.
