South Dakota Motor Fuel

South Dakota is a uniformity state. However, they do not have electronic filing and only the paper forms are created. Companies located in South Dakota that sell fuel only within the state do not need to file because Motor Fuel taxes are paid at the terminal. The only companies that need to report Motor Fuel Taxes are those that import motor fuel into South Dakota. This South Dakota out-of-state Motor Fuel Tax report is designed for companies located outside of South Dakota that sell fuel into or buy fuel from South Dakota. Regular uniformity states report their sales on the Schedules of Disbursements and their purchases on Schedules of Receipts. Out-of-state companies will report their South Dakota sales on Schedules of Receipts and their South Dakota purchases on the Schedules of Disbursements.

General information regarding Motor Fuel can be found here.

Assumptions

  • Products will need to be set up as Motor Fuel Products before the Motor Fuel Tax screens described here will be available.
  • Origin Cities will be set up to include the City Name and Terminal ID.
  • Soy Oil that is not blended with fuel will be treated as a separate Product. If a company purchases Soy Oil in bulk and then blends it into fuel, the non-fuel Soy Oil will need sold to reduce the inventory then the Fuel Type Soy Oil purchased.
  • Because this reporting is designed for companies not located in South Dakota, the Motor Fuel Product Types will need to be set up so they work in both South Dakota and the company's primary state.

Out-of-State Rules for Motor Fuel Tax Returns

South Dakota Out-of-State Motor Fuel Tax Returns are divided into three types. The Importer, Exporter, and Blender Tax Return is a summary return used to calculate the taxes owed based on details from the Schedules of Receipts and Schedules of Disbursements. The uniformity Schedules of Receipts are used to report sales of fuel into South Dakota from another state. The uniformity Schedules of Disbursements are used to report purchases of fuel from South Dakota delivered to another state.

Uniformity Schedules of Receipts

There are two Schedules of Receipts. These Schedules are identical except for whether or not tax was paid on the Receipt and whether or not the fuel was imported. Each Schedule is used to report a single type of fuel. If multiple types of fuel are received, multiple copies of the Schedule will be created. All of the state that have adopted Uniformity use these Schedules. In some cases, a state may not require a column of information. In these cases, the column is included on the Schedule but not filled in. The Schedule Types are:

  • 1a – Gallons received and imported from the origination state, SD tax paid
  • 2a – Gallons received and imported from out-of-state-terminals, refineries, or distributors, SD tax unpaid
  • 2b – Gallons received and imported, SD tax unpaid, blendable stock
  • 2c – Gallons received and imported, SD tax unpaid (diverted loads)

These Schedules include the following information for each receipt:

  • Schedule Type
  • Carrier Name
  • Carrier FEIN
  • Mode of Transportation
  • Point of Origin
  • Point of Destination
  • Acquired from
  • Seller's FEIN (Tax ID from South Dakota Out-of-State Company Licenses Setup screen)
  • Date Received
  • Document Number
  • Gross Gallons
  • Product Type

Logic for the Schedules of Receipts

All of the Schedules of Receipts are produced at the same time. Sales Invoices are the source of data for these schedules.

The Schedules of Receipts will have one detail line for each Sales Invoice line item that meets the following criteria:

  • The Schedule on the line item (InvoiceLi.MFSched) is 1a or 2a.
  • The Invoice Date is within the Date Range specified for the report.

The Schedules of Receipts detail lines will be grouped based on the Schedule Type and Fuel Type Code with each Schedule Type and Fuel Type on a separate page. For example:

  • All of the 065 Type Products with Schedule Type 2a will be reported on one (or more) pages
  • All of the 160 Type Products with Schedule Type 2a will be reported on one (or more) pages.

Each page should include a subtotal of that page. The detail lines on each page should be sorted by Invoice Date/Bill of Lading number (ticket number). The Total (of all detail lines from all pages) is printed at the bottom of the last page of each Schedule Type. In many cases, these totals are also reported on the Importer, Exporter, and Blender Tax Return.

Uniformity Schedules of Disbursements

There are 6 Schedules of Disbursements. These schedules are identical except for whether or not tax was paid on the Disbursements and whether or not the fuel was exported. Each schedule is used to report a single type of fuel. If multiple types of fuel are delivered, multiple copies of the schedule will be created. All of the states that have adopted Uniformity use these schedules. In some cases, a state my not require a column of information, in these cases the column is included on the schedule but it is not filled in. The schedule types are:

  • Schedule Type 5 – Gallons delivered, tax collected
  • Schedule Type 7 – Gallons exported to the state of ________________
  • Schedule Type 7b – Gallons sold for export, originating state tax paid from bulk plant
  • Schedule Type 10 – Gallons delivered to other tax-exempt entities

These Schedules include the following information for each receipt:

  • Schedule Type
  • Carrier Name
  • Carrier FEIN
  • Mode of Transportation
  • Point of Origin
  • Point of Destination
  • Sold to
  • Purchaser’s FEIN (Tax ID from South Dakota Out-of-State Company Licenses Setup screen)
  • Date
  • Document Number
  • Gross Gallons

Logic for Schedules of Disbursements

All of the Schedules of Disbursements are produced at the same time. Purchase Invoices are the source of data for these schedules.

The Schedules of Disbursements will have one detail line for each Purchase Invoice line item that meets the following criteria:

  • The Schedule on the line item (InvoiceLi.MFSched) is 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10.
  • The Invoice Date is within the Date Range specified for the report.

The Schedules of Disbursements detail lines will be grouped based on the Schedule Type and Fuel Type Code with each Schedule Type and Fuel Type on a separate page. For example:

  • All of the 065 Type Products with Schedule Type 5 will be reported on one (or more) pages
  • All of the 160 Type Products with Schedule Type 5 will be reported on one (or more) pages.

Each page should include a subtotal of that page. The detail lines on each page should be sorted by Invoice Date/Bill of Lading number.

The Total (of all detail lines from all pages) is printed at the bottom of the last page of each Schedule Type. In many cases, these totals are also reported on the Importer, Exporter, and Blender Tax Return.
