Understanding the complexities and requirements of tax-exempt purchases in multiple states is crucial for businesses aiming to navigate the perplexities of sales and use tax regulations effectively. The Sd Eform 1932, known officially as the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement Certificate of Exemption, plays a vital role in this process. Based in Pierre, South Dakota, this form serves as a multi-state tool, though it's essential to note that not all states recognize every exemption listed. It puts the onus on purchasers to know their eligibility for claiming tax exemptions in specific states, underlining the importance of thoroughness and accuracy in completion. While the form provides a mechanism for tax-exempt purchases, it also outlines clear responsibilities for both buyers and sellers. Buyers are cautioned about their liability for any tax, interest, and penalties if exemptions are claimed improperly, emphasizing the form's role in ensuring compliance and integrity in tax-exempt transactions. Sellers are tasked with maintaining records and may only accept the form under conditions that align with state laws, highlighting the mutual responsibility in adhering to exemption criteria. Whether you are attaching a Multi-State Supplemental form, claiming a single purchase exemption, or identifying your business and the reason for exemption, accuracy, and completeness are paramount. The document also specifies consequences for misuse, aiming to deter fraudulent claims and outlining seller's duties to uphold tax collection laws unless valid exemptions are duly provided.

South Dakota Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement (SSUTA) Certificate of Exemption Instructions
Use this form to claim exemption from sales tax on purchases of otherwise taxable items. The purchaser must complete all fields on the exemption certificate and provide the fully completed certificate to the seller in order to claim exemption.
Warning to purchaser: Purchasers are responsible for ensuring that they are eligible for the exemption being claimed. Purchasers will be held liable for any tax and interest, as well as penalties imposed by the state, if the purchase is not legally exempt.
Misuse of exemption certificates in South Dakota: Any purchaser who knowingly and intentionally purchases items for resale that he or she knows will not be resold, or provides an invalid exemption certificate with the intent to evade payment of the tax, must pay the use tax on these items and may be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor and fined up to 50% of the tax owed. If a business legitimately purchases an item for resale, but later uses that item, the purchaser is responsible for reporting and paying use tax on that item.
Purchaser instructions for completing the exemption certificate:
1.Some purchasers may wish to complete a single certificate for multiple states where they conduct business and regularly make exempt purchases from the same seller. If this is the case, check the box on the front of the Exemption Certificate to indicate that the Multistate Supplemental form is being attached.
If the Multistate Supplemental form is not being attached, enter the
2.Single purchase exemption certificate: Check this box if this exemption certificate is being used for a single purchase. Include the invoice or purchase order number for the transaction.
If this box is not checked, this certificate will be treated as a blanket certificate. A blanket certificate continues in force as long as the purchaser is making recurring purchases (at least one purchase within a period of twelve consecutive months) or until otherwise cancelled by the purchaser.
3.Purchaser Information: Complete the purchaser and seller information section, as requested. Include the state tax identification number and identify the state and/or country that issued the number. If the purchaser does not have a state tax identification
number, they are to enter the Federal E plo er’s Ide tifi atio Nu er FEIN |

4.Type of business: Check the number that best describes the business or organization. If none of the categories apply, check number 20 and provide a brief description.
5.Reason for exemption: Check the exemption that applies to the business and enter the additional information requested for that
exemption. If there is a valid exemption that is not listed, check L Other a d e ter a e pla atio . The e pla atio for L ust include a clear and concise explanation of the reason for the exemption claimed.
Multistate Purchasers: Attach the SSUTA Certificate of Exemption – Multistate Supplemental form and indicate the applicable reason for exemption and identification number (if required) for each of the additional states in which the purchaser wishes to claim exemption from tax.

claimed. In addition, each state has other exemptions that may not be listed on this form. To determine what sales tax exemptions are allo ed i a parti ular state refer to the state’s e site or other i for atio a aila le relati g to that state’s e e ptio s.
Seller: The seller is required to maintain proper records of exempt transactions and provide those records to states when requested. These certificates may be provided in paper or electronic format. Exemption certificates must be made available to states in the form it is maintained.

1.All fields on the exemption certificate are completed by the purchaser;
2.The fully completed exemption certificate is provided to the seller at the time of sale;
3. The purchaser claims an
