MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCBD) – Shoppers across South Carolina can purchase various items free of sales tax during the state’s annual Sales Tax Holiday this weekend.
The 72-hour tax-free weekend will begin on Friday, August 5, and runs through Sunday, August 7.
Eligible items – from computers to clothes, school supplies, and dorm room accessories – can be purchased both online and in-store without paying the state’s 6% sales tax and any applicable local taxes during the period, according to the South Carolina Department of Revenue.
“With the increased cost of living, this year’s Sales Tax Holiday is a welcome relief for families. Everyone saves money during a tax-free holiday, particularly on back-to-school essentials,” said SCDOR Director Hartley Powell.
Note: these are examples and not a comprehensive list
South Carolina shoppers purchased more than $24.5 million in tax-free items during the sales tax holiday, according to SCDOR.
