The Land of No Sales Tax

This Date in History: June 8, 1993

In yet another Montana sales tax proposition, voters rejected the initiative on June 8, 1993 by nearly a three to one margin! State legislators have pushed the issue nearly every year since 1971, but Montana residents continue to resist the tax. As a result, Montana is a land of no sales tax, and residents from neighboring states frequently shop in Montana to take advantage of this perk.
