A special session of the South Dakota legislature this week passed two bills authorizing the state to start collecting sales taxes from online retailers.

Governor Dennis Daugaard says while the original bill was passed in 2015, future legislatures will have to decide on the details…

The tax is set to start November first. Daugaard says the Department of Revenue is scrambling to meet that deadline…

The bill exempts the first one hundred thousand dollars of sales from the online tax. Daugaard says in state retailers should not be upset by that exemption..

Daugaard says the hope is to capture some of the holiday online sales at the end of the year.
