Wayfair Sales Tax Decision
In South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the physical presence nexus standard established in Quill Corp. v. North Dakota and Natl. Bellas Hess. v. Illinois Dept. of Rev. The Court vacated the judgment of the South Dakota Supreme Court, which held that the state’s economic nexus standard imposing tax collection and remittance obligations on remote sellers was unconstitutional, and remanded the case for further proceedings not inconsistent with its decision. On Oct. 31, 2018, the state reached a final settlement with all parties, who are expected to comply with South Dakota’s economic nexus law beginning Jan. 1, 2019.
