POS built for Montana convenience, grocery and liquor stores

Only if you're inside one of the handful of communities that have adopted a local resort tax, like Big Sky or the Whitefish area. Montana is one of five states with no state sales tax and doesn't allow a general local sales tax either, so most Montana stores need no sales tax configuration at all. Where a resort tax does apply, it's up to 3% on lodging, prepared food and luxury goods, with an extra 1% possible if voters approved it for infrastructure. Storeveu ships every Montana store tax off by default and only switches on the resort rate for stores that are actually inside an adopted district.

The Montana State Lottery and Sports Wagering Commission pays retailers a 5% commission on tickets sold. Cashing commission isn't published as a separate rate, so confirm that figure in your own retailer agreement. Storeveu tracks lottery books through inventory, active, depleted and settled stages, with an end-of-shift ticket scan that works out tickets sold, so your commission report lines up with the Lottery's own settlement.

Beer and wine, yes, under a separate all-beverages or beer-and-wine licence, but spirits are reserved for the state's network of Agency Liquor Stores, 95 of them statewide, all privately owned but under contract with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division. Off-premise licences themselves are handed out under a population-based quota by county or city, so a new one generally means waiting for an opening or buying an existing licence on the open market. Purchase age is 21 either way. Storeveu is configured around whichever categories your licence actually covers, so a beer-and-wine store won't ring a spirits sale it isn't licensed for.

No. None of Montana's larger cities, including Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, Bozeman, Helena and Kalispell, add a general local sales tax, because a general local sales tax isn't permitted in Montana at all. The only exception is a small set of resort communities such as Big Sky and the Whitefish area that have voted in their own local resort tax on lodging, prepared food and luxury goods. That tax stops at the town boundary, so a store in one of the six major metros never needs it configured. Storeveu leaves tax off by default for every Montana store outside an adopted resort district.
