| Citation | Subject |

| MCA Title 16, Ch. 12 | Montana Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (I-190, 2020) |
| MCA Title 50, Ch. 46 | Montana Medical Marijuana Act |

Tax stack
Excise
20% adult-use cannabis tax (MCA §15-64-102) — applied at retail. 4% medical cannabis tax — separate lane, materially lower than adult-use. Both apply to gross retail receipts.
Sales / Use
0% — Montana has NO state general sales tax. The 20% / 4% cannabis tax is the only state tax line.
Local option
Counties may impose up to 3% local cannabis tax via voter referendum (counties must opt IN, not opt out). Auto-derived per store address; about half of Montana counties have adopted some variant. Combined adult-use stack 20-23% depending on county.

We serve here — honestly
We don’t operate stores in Montana. We do follow CCD bulletins, the green-county-vs-red-county opt-in topology under I-190 (most multi-state POS skip this), the medical-vs-adult-use 4-vs-20 tax split, the no-state-sales-tax framework, and the METRC-cadence reconciliation requirements. CannAgent ships MT support with the same compliance discipline we apply to WSLCB — and we’ll say it directly when something’s off.
