You have the Dakotas to thank for this. Back in 1992, the United States Supreme Court established how individual states would deal with retailers in the case of Quill Corp v. North Dakota (“Quill”). Quill Corp argued it should not have to collect taxes because it had no physical presence within North Dakota. The Supreme Court agreed.
Then on June 21, 2018, the Supreme Court agreed South Dakota arguing that it was losing tax revenue because of the changing markets that were no longer brick-and-mortar store based due to more consumers shopping online. Therefore reversing the earlier decision from North Dakota.The Dakotas showed resilience and persistence pays off.
