- The South Dakota Supreme Court’s Ellingson Drainage, Inc. v. DOR decision changes use tax rules for materials brought into and stored in South Dakota.
- Previously, contractors only owed use tax when materials were actually used in a project; now, tax is due when materials are stored in the state, regardless of use.
- The Court upheld the constitutionality of the use tax under both the Interstate Commerce Clause and Due Process Clause.
- Businesses must now pay use tax on out-of-state materials as soon as they are stored in South Dakota, increasing tax liability and audit risk.
- Companies should review and update their procurement and storage practices to comply with the new rules.
