South Dakota is one of the most tax-friendly states in the country - there is no personal income tax and no corporate income tax at all. The state sales tax is a low 4.2% (temporarily reduced from 4.5%), and cities may add up to 2% in municipal sales tax on top (about 6.2% combined). With no state income-tax return to file, the work is keeping sales and municipal-tax records clean - and that's exactly what we do.
