Wayfair Latest: South Dakota Hopes for October 1st Implementation, Gives Go-Ahead to Special Session
Published on by Cheryl Ganim in Consulting, State Local Tax, Tax Services
In an effort to fast-track implementing their economic nexus rules, South Dakota’s governor, Dennis Daugaard, has approved a special legislative session. This is set to take place on September 12th. After the monumental decision in the Wayfair Supreme Court case, South Dakota is still prevented from enforcing their economic nexus standard because of a Circuit Court injunction. The special legislative session is intended to produce a bill to eliminate the injunction and allow South Dakota to enforce the new nexus rules more quickly. Daugaard’s stated goal is to begin enforcement on October 1st of this year.
South Dakota’s current economic nexus regime subjects out-of-state sellers to sales tax collection and filing if they exceed either $100,000 in in-state sales, or 200 transactions. Many other States have adopted “copycat” economic nexus rules. After the pivotal Wayfair case, many of these other States are fast-tracking implementation and will begin enforcement on October 1st. Given South Dakota’s Circuit Court injunction, the State has additional procedural hurdles to overcome to begin implementation. The goal of the special session is to overcome these hurdles to join other States in the October 1st implementation date.
