Computers, clothes, school supplies, and a variety of other school-year essentials can be bought free of sales tax during South Carolina’s annual 72-hour Tax-Free Weekend. <\/p>\n
The 2023 Tax-Free Weekend runs from August 4 – August 6 at 11:59 pm.<\/p>\n
Eligible items can be bought online and in-store without paying the state’s 6 percent Sales Tax and any applicable local taxes during Tax-Free Weekend.<\/p>\n
“With the increased cost of inflation, this year’s Sales Tax Holiday is a welcome relief for families. Everyone saves money during Tax-Free Weekend, particularly on back-to-school essentials,” said SCDOR Director Hartley Powell.<\/p>\n
Tax-free items include computers, printers, school supplies, clothing and accessories, shoes, and certain bed and bath items. These tax-free items can be new or used and are eligible regardless of price.<\/p>\n
Items that are not exempt from Sales Tax during Tax-Free Weekend include digital cameras, smartphones, jewelry, cosmetics, eyewear, wallets, watches, and furniture.<\/p>\n
