S.D. Admin. R. 64:29:02:04.01
General Authority: SDCL 10-45-47.1, 32-5B-15.
Law Implemented: SDCL 10-45-1(3), 32-5B-4(1) to (3).
Example:
Joe buys a car from Acme Used Cars and trades in a used 1983 color television set. The price of the car is listed at $3,000. The salesman gives Joe $1,000 for the TV, making the purchase price of the vehicle $2,000. One thousand dollars for the used TV is unreasonable. Excise tax on the purchase price of the vehicle shall be paid on the list price minus the current market value of the TV.
