Anyone who lives outside of Montana can benefit from starting a Montana LLC for vehicle registration. This sales tax-free state is renowned for its business-friendly policies, making it an ideal location for an LLC, regardless of your residency. Bonus? You can register vehicles tax-free in Montana, with some of the lowest vehicle registration fees and renewals in the country.
Key Montana LLC Advantages:
Quick turnaround time: We'll file your LLC with the Montana Secretary of State within 1 business day of your purchase, and your vehicle registration will be complete within 45 business days of receiving your vehicle's title.
Tax-free purchasing of movable property: This includes cars, motorcycles, boats, etc.
No emissions tests or vehicle inspections
You keep your existing driver’s license, if your vehicles are licensed in Montana with Montana plates
Avoid paying personal property tax: In addition to no sales tax, Montana also has no tax on personal property.
You won’t need a lawyer: We handle each step of the Montana LLC filing and vehicle registration, including representing you at the DMV and mailing you your Montana Title and license plates
How Much Money You Can Save
Savings will vary based on your sales tax when you purchase boats, vehicles, or aircraft. If your business depends on making many of these purchases, your savings will be thousands of dollars.
For instance, if your state's sales tax rate is 6.5%, and you buy a $150,000 vehicle, you'd owe your state $9,750 in sales tax. But, if you purchase that vehicle under your Montana LLC with LLCTLC as your Montana Registered Agent, you'll pay $0 in sales tax and can purchase a package for as low as $1,295! That saves you $8,455 on that one vehicle purchase alone.
Additional vehicles are $545 for cars, trucks, and boats, and only $475 for motorcycles, trailers, and street-legal SxSs.
How a Montana LLC Helps with Luxury Cars
Not only will you avoid paying thousands of extra dollars in sales tax, but you can also save money on vehicle registration in Montana. In California, for example, it may cost over $100,000 to register an exotic or luxury car worth over $1 million, but in Montana registration for that same vehicle only costs a few hundred dollars. Montana also has the lowest rate in America for license plates.
