Greater Inman Area Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on July 26.
A variety of items can be purchased free of Sales Tax during South Carolina’s 72-hour Sales Tax Holiday, including computers, clothing, footwear, school supplies, and bed and bath items. The South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) reminds shoppers that eligible items can be new or used and purchased online or in-store without paying the state’s 6% Sales Tax and any applicable local taxes during South Carolina’s Tax-Free Weekend, Friday thru Saturday, August 6 – 8, 2021. Items that are excluded from the Tax-Free Holiday include digital cameras, smartphones, jewelry, cosmetics, eyewear, wallets, watches, furniture, rental clothing or footwear, and items for use in a trade or business.
