Which state is easier for sellers?

For low-revenue sellers: nexus triggers first in both states because of its threshold. If you cross that first, you register there first.

On rate: rates are identical or the data is incomplete.

Neither state has a transaction-count trigger — only the dollar threshold matters.

Delaware — nexus note

Frequently asked questions

Do both Delaware and Montana have marketplace facilitator laws?
Neither Delaware nor Montana has a marketplace facilitator law recorded in our current data as of 2026-04-27. Confirm against each state's official source.
Do I need to register for sales tax in both Delaware and Montana?
It depends on where you cross each state's economic nexus threshold (or have physical presence there). Delaware's published threshold is not applicable (no statewide sales tax), and Montana's is not applicable (no statewide sales tax). You generally register in a state only once you cross its threshold, so you may have an obligation in one, both, or neither. Run the nexus calculator with your actual sales and confirm with each state's official source. Thresholds as of 2026-04-27.
