It's about that time again... Vacations are winding down, parents are scrambling to get their kids to cram summer reading, and oh, there's the big task of stocking up on all those school supplies. Shop smart by comparing prices at different stores and get coupons online or in the paper. Keep in mind that big outlet centers draw a lot of shoppers during Tax Free Weekend, but local stores may actually offer you better deals. So don’t overlook the stores nearest you when planning your back-to-school shopping. Be careful not to overspend just because the tax free weekend is going on in your area. The regular (base) sales tax rate in South Carolina is 6%, so that's how much money you'd be saving—along with your local sales tax, if applicable.
Sunday, August 9th is the last day of the Tax Free Weekend, lasting til midnight. There is no 6% sales tax or local sales taxes on select back-to-school items.
Tax Free Items:
School supplies
Clothing
Bedspreads and linens
Computers and printers
Shoes
Non Tax Free Items:
Cosmetics
Eyewear
Furniture
Jewelry and watches
Wallets
