South Dakota: Does the state have a sales-tax-free weekend?
No tax-free period
South Dakota has a statewide sales tax but no sales tax holiday.
The state sales and use tax rate is 4.2%, and cities can add their own sales taxes. Neither the Department of Revenue's sales tax page nor the sales tax statute mentions a tax-free period. That absence is an inference from the official pages, and a national tax administrators' survey also lists South Dakota as having no 2026 holiday.
What the law says
The South Dakota sales tax and use tax rates are 4.2%.
