A Montana LLC serves as a legal tool that allows vehicle owners to take full advantage of Montana’s tax-free benefits, resulting in substantial savings on sales tax. Here’s how it works:
Montana’s No-Sales-Tax Policy: Most states charge sales tax on vehicle purchases, which can range between 5% and 10% of the vehicle’s price. For example:
$50,000 vehicle: With a 10% sales tax, you’d pay an extra $5,000.
$100,000 vehicle: The tax alone would be $10,000.By purchasing and registering the vehicle through a Montana LLC, you avoid this tax entirely, keeping that money in your pocket.
