Question

What dates are the south Carolina no sales tax weekend?

Answer 1

The 2008 sales tax holiday weekend will begin Friday, August 1, 2008 at 12:01 a.m. and end Sunday, August 3, 2008 at midnight.

Code Section 12-36-2120(57) provides for an annual sales tax holiday for sales taking place during 12:01 a.m. on the first Friday in August and ending at midnight on the

following Sunday.  Accordingly, the 2008 sales tax holiday weekend will begin Friday, August 1, 2008 at 12:01 a.m. and end Sunday, August 3, 2008 at midnight.  



During this time, the 6% state sales and use tax, and any applicable local sales and use tax, will not be imposed on clothing, clothing accessories (e.g., hats, scarves, hosiery, and handbags), footwear, school supplies (e.g., pens, pencils, paper, binders, notebooks, books, bookbags, lunchboxes, and calculators), computers, printers and printer supplies, computer software, and bath wash clothes, blankets, bed spreads, bed linens, sheet sets, comforter sets, bath towels, shower curtains, bath rugs and mats, pillows, and pillow cases. The sales tax holiday, however, does not apply to sales of jewelry, cosmetics, eyewear, wallets, watches, furniture, rental of clothing or footwear, items for use in a business, or items placed on layaway or similar deferred payment and delivery plans.
