Collect tax from Montana

In Montana, Stripe Tax supports calculation and collection of Resort taxes.

When to register for tax collection

If you’re a business based in Montana you could still have tax obligations based on sales to customers in other locations. See Thresholds to get insights about your potential tax registration obligations. Stripe also notifies you with email and Dashboard alerts when you need to register to collect tax. Learn more about how the monitoring tool works.

Sales tax

Montana doesn’t have a general state or local sales tax. This means you won’t see an option to add your registration for Montana to Stripe and collect taxes from your customers based in Montana.

Other taxes

We also support calculation and collection of Resort taxes in many Montana local jurisdictions as they pertain to participant and spectator based entertainment, amusement, and recreational activities. Stripe doesn’t include transactions for this tax in its threshold monitoring.

Register to collect tax

You may need to register to collect tax on your sales in other states or countries.

Read our guide to navigate sales tax registration for help. You can also use Stripe to register on your behalf.

After registering, add your registration in the Stripe Dashboard to start collecting tax on your transactions in Montana. You must add registrations for types other than sales tax, such as the West Yellowstone Resort Tax, as separate registrations in Stripe.

How we calculate taxes

Stripe calculates the taxes that apply to your customer’s location.

Report and file your taxes

Stripe Tax has filing partners—Taxually, Marosa, and Hands-off Sales Tax (HOST)—to help automate your tax filing. These partners automatically sync your tax transaction data in real time, eliminating the need for manual data entry or file transfers. Learn more about tax filing.

Stripe also provides reports of your completed tax transactions. Go to Registrations to access these reports. Learn more about the different types of reports.
