​​Dry Cleaning

Dry Cleaning Tax applies to both dry-cleaning facilities and wholesale establishments:

  • ​​Dry-cleani​ng facility: a professional, commercial establishment located in South Carolina for the purpose of cleaning clothing and other fabrics utilizing a process that involves the use of dry-cleaning solvent. In the case of a retail establishment, the establishment is one that operates (or has operated), in whole or in part, for the purpose of cleaning clothing and other fabrics for members of the public, other dry​​-cleaning facilities, and dry drop-off facilities.

    Individuals who ow​​n a dry cleaning facility and perform the actual cleaning at that location are required to join the Dry Cleaning Restoration Fund and obtain a certificate of registration from the SCDOR. This certificate must be presented to vendors when purchasing the cleaning solvent used in the dry cleaning process. To register for this certificate, visit MyD​ORWAY. For questions regarding this form and other dry cleaning questions, please email us at RegistrationforTaxes@dor.sc.gov.

  • Wholesale est​ablishment: an establishment that operates (or has operated), in whole or in part, for the purpose of cleaning clothing and other fabrics for other dry-cleaning facilities or dry drop-off facilities. "Dry-cleaning facility" includes laundry facilities that are using or have used dry-cleaning solvent as part of their cleaning process but does not include textile mills, uniform rental and linen supply facilities, or dry-cleaning facilities owned or operated by a local, state, or federal government.​
