Did you know? Last year, South Carolina shoppers bought more than $26.2 million in tax-free items during the Tax Free Weekend! In past years, shoppers have saved between $2 million and $3 million during the weekend.
Books, clothes, school supplies, and a variety of other school-year essentials can be purchased free of Sales Tax during South Carolina’s annual 72-hour Tax Free Weekend. The South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) reminds shoppers that the 2023 Tax Free Weekend runs Friday, August 4 at 12:00 a.m. through Sunday, August 6 at 11:59 p.m.
Eligible items can be purchased online and in-store without paying the state’s 6% Sales Tax and any applicable local taxes during Tax Free Weekend, often called the Sales Tax Holiday.
“With the increased cost of inflation, this year’s Sales Tax Holiday is a welcome relief for families. Everyone saves money during Tax Free Weekend, particularly on back-to-school essentials,” said SCDOR Director Hartley Powell.
