  • MT tax

    Guest comes in, does not have reservation. I ask what room type they want/if they have dicounts. I learned loong ago to say the rate as like 79+tax. Montana does not have sales tax, though. Sometimes I just can't handle guests who don't know the butt from their elbow, so I take it on myself to educate them.

    SC: We stay here all of the time, and Montana doesn't have tax.
    Me: Actually, Montana has travel tax. Has since I remember, although it used to be lower. And this city itself has a $1.00 city tax per night. If you stay here often, we have always charged tax unless a person in exempt.
    SC: *The guests look at me like I am feeding them bull and that they don't have 2 IQ points between them." Oh this city got that city tax too, huh? Well, only government people are exempt... (duh)




    People are LAME. I am about sick of this arguement. 1. typicaly "I stay here all of the time b.s. and 2.I think you wanted to try & see how dumb I was.

    I get a lot of customers from OR who, when I give them the price, say "Aha! I'm from Oregon so I'm tax exempt." I promptly reply with "Aha! It's not a sales tax so no, you aren't!"

      i don't get that...i had a lady argue with me when i was living in idaho that because she was from oregon, she didn't have to pay our sales tax. i told her she was buying something in idaho, so she had to pay idaho taxes...so she pulled out her drivers license. "seeeeee??? i'm from oooooooregon!" i think she said something about writing a letter to congress on her way out.
