Collect tax from Montana

When to register for tax collection

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.

However, Montana does impose other taxes on businesses, including corporate income tax and a local resort tax. Learn more about the taxes that apply in Montana at the tax authority.

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.
