Montana collected $827 million in income, license, miscellaneous other, property and sales and gross receipts taxes during the third quarter of 2021, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Quarterly Summary of State and Local Taxes.
This is a 1.8 percent decrease from the same quarter the previous year when combined tax revenues were $842 million.
The majority of the state’s tax revenue was collected through income taxes ($513 million) and sales and gross receipts taxes ($177 million).
In addition to detailed tax revenue data from each state, the Quarterly Summary of State and Local Government Tax Revenue includes an estimate of state and local government tax revenue at a national level.
The Census Bureau cautions it sets the tax classifications among the survey categories, and they may differ from the classifications set by the state governments. Also, not all states collect all types of taxes.

|---|---|
| Income Taxes | $513 |
| License Taxes | $68 |
| Other Taxes | $55 |
| Property Taxes | $15 |
