The SCDOR has published its annual update of the state's Withholding Tax Tables. Employers and payroll providers should begin using both the 2025 Withholding Tables and the 2025 SC W-4 on January 1, 2025.

Why it matters:

• The annual updates help ensure South Carolina employers are withholding the right amount from employees' paychecks.
• Accurate Withholding Tables benefit empl​oyers, employees, and the state.

Taxpayers should check their withholding early each year, when the tax law has changed, or if they have experienced significant life changes, including:

• Marriage
• Divorce
• The birth of a child
• A new job or raise
• New taxable income not subject to withholding
• Changes in itemized deductions or tax credits

Taxpayers should complete a new SC W-4 ​when they begin a new job or need to update their withholding.
