Montana levies no statewide general sales tax — one of only five states where that is true. That removes the single largest source of quiet liability for medical and dental practices and shifts the work onto payroll, entity filings, and the obligations below.
Employer registration runs through the Montana Department of Labor and Industry, and the entity is registered with the Montana Secretary of State. No general sales tax. Resort communities may levy a local resort tax on lodging and certain retail.

Entity-level obligations in Montana
Beyond sales tax, Montana imposes the Local resort taxes and the lodging taxes below. No general sales tax and no gross receipts tax, but resort communities levy their own local tax, and accommodations are taxed statewide. That sits alongside registration with the Montana Secretary of State, and it is the obligation most often missed by businesses who concluded from the absence of a sales tax that Montana asks nothing of them. It is accrued as it builds rather than discovered at year end.
