South Carolina’s 2018 sales tax holiday kicks off August 3
Get ready for South Carolina’s annual Sales Tax Holiday weekend with a list of items that will be tax-free August 3 through August 5, 2018.
During tax-free weekend, a variety of back-to-school essentials are exempt from the state’s 6 percent sales tax and any applicable local taxes. Tax-free items range from clothing, accessories, and shoes to school supplies, book bags, and computers. Shoppers will also find tax-free items for the home and dorm room.
In past years, South Carolina shoppers have saved between $2 million and $3 million during the holiday weekend.
