South Carolina’s annual Tax Free Weekend is scheduled for August 2-4, 2024.
For three days, shoppers can purchase eligible items such as computers, printers, school supplies, clothing and accessories, shoes and certain bed and bath items in-store and online tax-free.
According to a press release from the S.C. Department of Revenue (SCDOR), shoppers last year purchased more than $30.4 million in tax-free items during the weekend.
Items that are not exempt from the 6% Sales Tax include digital camera, smart phones, jewelry, cosmetics, eyewear, wallets, watches and furniture.
Tax Free Weekend was created in 2000 and has been a popular weekend for shoppers to purchase back-to-school supplies.
