Montana’s online retailers must start collecting sales taxes for Washington; other states to follow

Montana retailers who sell products over the Internet in Washington will be required to collect a sales tax for the state by October, the first of many announcements from the 46 sales-tax states expected in the months to come.

Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on Wayfair earlier this year, area retailers have scrambled to understand the ruling, which now requires them to collect a sales tax from distant customers and remit them to individual states, even though Montana has no sales tax.
