Use tax may be due on online purchases

With the holiday season in full swing, the South Dakota Department of Revenue reminds citizens that state and municipal use taxes may be due on their online purchases.

South Dakotans owe use tax if they did not pay sales tax when making a purchase. Use tax is also due if the sales tax paid to another state was lower than what would have been paid in South Dakota—in this case the difference in the two amounts is how much use tax is owed.
