You can purchase computers, clothes, school supplies, and a variety of other items free of Sales Tax during South Carolina’s annual 72-hour Sales Tax Holiday August 6 – 8.<\/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 South Carolina’s Tax Free Weekend.<\/p>\n
“Tax Free Weekend is a great way for South Carolina shoppers to save money, and it’s also a great way to demonstrate our support of South Carolina businesses who have struggled this past year,” SCDOR Director Hartley Powell said.<\/p>\n
Tax-free items include computers, printers, school supplies, clothing and accessories, footwear, and certain bed and bath items. These tax-free items can be new or used and are eligible regardless of price. Cloth masks are tax-free during the Sales Tax Holiday since they are considered clothing accessories. <\/p>\n
Items that are not tax-free during the Sales Tax Holiday include digital cameras, smartphones, jewelry, cosmetics, eyewear, wallets, watches, furniture, rental clothing or footwear, and items for use in a trade or business.<\/p>\n
Last year, South Carolina shoppers bought more than $18.1 million in tax-free items during the Sales Tax Holiday. <\/p>\n
