South Dakota and the R&D Tax Credit
South Dakota does not offer a state-level Research and Development tax credit, primarily because the state does not levy corporate or personal income taxes. However, businesses innovating within South Dakota remain fully eligible for the lucrative federal R&D tax credit. This is particularly beneficial for qualified startups with under five million dollars in gross receipts, as they can apply this federal credit to offset up to five hundred thousand dollars in annual payroll taxes. Furthermore, the state boasts a highly favorable business climate and offers various alternative financing options and grants through the Governor’s Office of Economic Development.
