MONTANA
RULES OF GOLD
Are Gold and Silver Recognized as Legal Tender? - No. A bill titled HB 513 was passed in 2011 which would have affirmed gold and silver as constitutional money, but it failed to pass into law. The fact that such a bill had been introduced raises hope that a similar effort will be underway in the future.
Sales Tax Laws on Gold and Silver - Montana is one of the few U.S. states that does not levy a sales tax.
Is Capital Gains Tax Levied on Gold and Silver? - Yes.
Do the State's Laws Allow for a State Bullion Depository? - No.
Does the State Hold Gold and Silver Reserves? - No.
Does the State Hold Physical Gold and/or Silver in Government Pension Funds? - No.
