Tax free weekend in time for back to school shopping

Back to school shopping will be a little easier on the pockets of all of us beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, August 7th until midnight on Sunday, August 9th thanks to the annual Sales Tax Holiday approved by South Carolina’s lawmakers and supported by the South Carolina Retail Association (SCRA). “South Carolina’s annual Sales Tax Holiday is important to the state’s consumers and business owners, the retail market and especially to the overall economy,” said SC Retail Association Executive Director Lindsey Kueffner. “It’s a popular tax break on back-to-school necessities for hard-working families. Shoppers enjoy the sales and savings, and retailers get a nice boost from it. It’s a win-win.”
