The short timers – Unlicensed vacation rentals cheat Montana out of almost $4 million a year in taxes

The state of Montana is losing out on nearly $4 million a year in tax revenue because of unlicensed short-term vacation rentals, according to an analysis of state and industry data.

Locally, the analysis showed that the Big Sky community is losing more than $375,000 each year in resort tax revenue — about 12 percent of the total amount brought in last year by the resort tax.
