Montana State Tax: Overview
Montana does not have a statewide sales tax. However, some areas may impose a special "resort tax." Many middle-class families in Montana may have income that falls into the highest Montana income tax bracket since that bracket applies to taxpayers with taxable income over $19,800. The highest income tax rate is reduced for tax year 2024, and property taxes are lower in Montana than in many other states.
