South Carolina is currently holding a tax-free weekend from Friday to Sunday, allowing consumers to purchase items without having to pay the state’s six-percent sales tax.
You can take advantage of the tax-free holiday to purchase school supplies, computers, clothing, shoes, and bed and bath items without paying any sales tax. However, keep in mind that items like cameras, cell phones, and makeup are not included in the list of exempted products.
If you’re someone who prefers to steer clear of crowds but still wants to take advantage of the discounts, fret not! Shopping online is a great option for you.
The Department of Revenue reported that in 2023, South Carolinians spent over $30 million during the tax-free weekend.
According to a mother, tax-free weekend is a great opportunity for budget-conscious moms or those with multiple kids. She believes that even if you are not on a tight budget, the savings are like actual money that you get to keep. For her, it’s a no-brainer to take advantage of this weekend and do the rest of her shopping during this time.
