This tax holiday applied earlier this year but has NOT yet been approved by the South Carolina Legislature for 2025. As soon as I receive further information, this page will be updated. Be sure to check back often!
Don’t miss this year’s South Carolina Sales Tax Holiday when doing your back-to-school shopping. The tax free weekend takes place over 3 days:
Friday, August 2
Saturday, August 3
Sunday, August 4
On these dates, you can purchase these items free of South Carolina state sales tax:
– Clothing and certain clothing accessories. Rentals are excluded.
– Footwear.
– School supplies.
– Computers, printer supplies and computer software. Excludes items for commercial use.
– Bed and bath linens, shower curtains, bath mats and pillows.
Many stores will be having special back to school sales on eligible items in conjunction with the sales tax holiday. Walmart, Target, Belk, Shoe Carnival, Famous Footwear, Dillard’s, Sears, JCPenney, Neiman Marcus, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Marshalls, Kohl’s, Old Navy, Best Buy, Office Depot, Office Max, and Staples have frequent tax free weekend sales and back to school tax holiday promotions.
Apparently, there are NO limits on the purchase price of eligible items. Be sure to take advantage of the South Carolina Sales Tax Holiday and back-to-school tax free weekend: August 2-3-4, 2024.
