​​Us​​e Tax

Use Tax applies when South Carolina Sales Tax hasn’t been paid on an out-of-state purchase. Tangible goods that have been bought at retail to be used, stored, or consumed in South Carolina are subject to a statewide 6% Use Tax, plus any applicable Local Taxes. The purchaser pays the Use Tax. Businesses that regularly make non-taxed purchases from out-of-state should report and pay the Use Tax on their monthly Sales & Use Tax return.
