South Carolina has one of the lowest per capita tax rates in the country, according to the U.S. Bureau of Census. The state’s lawmakers, political leaders and local officials are dedicated to ensuring that the Palmetto State’s tax structure remains competitive and attractive to individuals, manufacturers and small businesses considering our state as their new home. The following state and local taxes generally affect our residents

Income Tax

South Carolina’s income tax structure follows federal income tax laws, allowing many of the same adjustments, exemptions and deductions with only a few modifications. In fact, the starting point for calculating your state tax liability is your federal taxable income. South Carolina’s individual income tax rate starts at 2.5 percent of taxable income, graduating to a maximum of 7 percent on taxable income exceeding $12,650. The individual income tax brackets are adjusted annually to help offset inflation.

Property Tax

South Carolina counties, cities and school districts impose ad valorem (property) taxes on real and personal property. Local governments assess and collect property taxes.
