\n<\/strong>Sales\/Use Tax<\/strong>
\nSouth Carolina imposes a statewide sales tax of 6 percent on the sale of goods and certain services. A use tax at the same rate is due on goods purchased out of state and brought into South Carolina where no sales tax has been paid such as catalog or Internet orders. Use taxes are due directly to the state and require a filing form. Individual counties may impose another 1 percent sales and use tax rate if approved by local voters. The Department of Revenue website lists all current sales and use tax rates by zip code. Generally, all retail sales are subject to the sales tax. For more information or answers to specific questions, contact:<\/p>\n

Property Tax<\/strong>
\nProperty tax is administered and collected by local governments with assistance from the South Carolina Department of Revenue. Real and personal property are subject to the tax. Approximately two-thirds of county-levied property taxes are used for support of public education. Municipalities levy a tax on property situated within the limits of the municipality for services provided by the municipality. The tax is paid by individuals, corporations, and partnerships owning property within the state. For details on property taxes on your home or automobile, contact the assessor (property tax) or auditor (vehicle taxes) in the county of your residence. Your county treasurer and\/or tax collector will also be a valuable source of information. (In counties without a tax collector, the treasurer handles tax collecting functions.)<\/p>\n
