The 2015 South Carolina Sales Tax Holiday is August 7th, 8th & 9th, 2015.
South Carolina's tax exempt items include everything from bed sheets to computers. This is one of the most generous lists of eligible products out of all of the states participating in tax free shopping. Use this list to help you save the most money. With certain items being restricted, you want to make sure there are no surprises at the cash register. Neighboring state Georgia also participates in back-to-school sales tax holidays with a different set of guidelines and eligible items listed. Be mindful though, North Carolina has repealed their Sales Tax Holiday.
