Here's When Your State Will Increase Online Sales Taxes
The South Dakota v. Wayfair tax starts Oct. 1 in 10 states.
By Laura Woods October 1, 2018 Taxes 101
The South Dakota v. Wayfair Supreme Court ruling allows states to charge taxes on all online purchases.
Many states have already implemented the tax but most have not.
Some states have the potential to earn billions per year from this ruling.
On June 21, the Supreme Court ruled that states can require consumers to pay sales tax for all purchases made online. The South Dakota v. Wayfair decision overturned the 1992 Quill Corp. v. North Dakota ruling that barred states from forcing online and other remote retailers to charge sales tax unless the company had a physical presence in the state.
Some states have already instituted this new policy and several that haven't are about to start. Keep reading to find out if and when your state will start taxing all online purchases, effectively taking more money out of your wallet.
