About each permit
Sales Tax Registration — Montana Department of Revenue Position
No fee, because the Department of Revenue's Sales Tax Guidance page states that 'Montana does not have a general-use sales tax' and that 'Montana does not have a sales tax exemption certificate.' Two narrow taxes sit outside that rule: an 8% combined tax on short-term lodging and a 4% tax on rental vehicles, each requiring registration only if a business is in one of those two specific lines of trade. On the Department's statement, an ordinary retailer, restaurant or service business collects no general sales tax.
