Changes in municipal taxes take effect in two South Dakota Communities

Beginning July 1, 2025, the communities of Newell and Wagner will be implementing a 1 percent municipal gross receipts tax on lodging accommodations, eating establishments, alcohol sales, and admissions.

South Dakota municipalities are able to implement new tax rates or change existing tax rates on January 1 or July 1 each year, according to South Dakota Codified Law 10-52-9.

The South Dakota Department of Revenue has municipal tax information bulletins available, which list all municipal sales and use tax rates statewide, along with information on tribal sales, use, and excise taxes.

Updated bulletins are free of charge. To obtain a municipal tax information bulletin, download it on the Department of Revenue website at https://dor.sd.gov/businesses/taxes/municipal-tax/#taxpdfs or contact the Department of Revenue at 1-800-829-9188.
