Wages: The SCDOR may issue a levy against 25% of the gross wages of an individual due to an unpaid assessment or tax liens due to the SCDOR. This can be due to a state tax debt or a debt owed to an outside agency (such as past due hospital or state ethics commission penalty) that is being collected by the SCDOR.

Intangible assets: ​The SCDOR may issue a levy against the bank accounts and certain investment accounts of an individual or entity with an unpaid assessment or tax liens due to the SCDOR. This can include a levy against currently held contract payments and future payments. If the SCDOR issues a levy on intangibles against you, all amounts up to the total amount due to the SCDOR will be remitted to the SCDOR.​ If you have questions, contact the SCDOR using the information listed on the Notice of Levy on Intangibles that you received.
