Montana levies no statewide sales tax, so there is no seller’s permit to get and nothing to collect at the register. Register through the TransAction Portal (TAP) once you have employees, because any business that pays Montana wages must hold a withholding account. A few resort towns, Big Sky, Whitefish, Red Lodge and West Yellowstone among them, collect a local resort tax that the town registers you for.
