How Montana nexus works
Montana has no general state or local sales tax. Sellers shipping to Montana customers do not need to register or collect. Exceptions: certain resort-area local option taxes and accommodations/rental car taxes apply to specific industries.
Filing frequency
Filing frequency in Montana depends on your sales tax liability. Higher-volume sellers file monthly; lower-volume sellers typically file quarterly or annually. The state will assign a frequency when you register.
Marketplace facilitator law
Montana has no general statewide sales tax, so there is no general sales-tax marketplace facilitator collection threshold for marketplaces to apply. Check the official source for separate taxes on meals, lodging, rentals, communications, tobacco, or other industry-specific activity.
