State Oral Interp Festival To Be Held In Huron

PIERRE — The South Dakota Depart-ment of Revenue wants to remind SouthDakotans that state and municipal taxmay be due on purchases boughtonline.

Business Tax Division Director DougSchinkel says many consumers do notrealize that most Internet retailers arenot collecting sales tax on online sales,so use tax would be due.

“Many people assume they are beingcharged sales tax by Internet retailers

because they are used to paying salestax on items they buy in a storefrontbusiness,” Schinkel said. “But in manycases, the Internet retailer is not charg-ing the tax. If an individual buys some-thing online and is not charged salestax on the item, it’s up to the purchaserto pay use tax to the state.”

South Dakota’s use tax rate is 4 per-cent, the same as the state’s sales taxrate. Municipal tax may also be duebased on where the purchaser receives

the goods. Schinkel says shoppers canfind use tax reporting forms and otherinformation on South Dakota’s use taxon the Department of Revenue websiteat http://dor.sd.gov/Taxes/Business_Taxes/.

Do you have questions on use tax?Contact the Department’s toll-freehelpline at 800-829-9188 or your localRevenue office for assistance. Officesare located in Aberdeen, Mitchell,Pierre, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, Water-town and Yankton.
