State Sales Tax |
The General Sales tax in South Carolina is 5 percent.
On November 7, 2000, Aiken County voters passed a seven-year One-Cent Sales Tax referendum. Effective May 1, 2001, the sales tax in Aiken County increased from five to six cents on all retail sales. Proceeds from the one-cent tax will generate approximately $54.6 million and will support the largest local road paving, drainage improvement and recreation construction program in the history of the county.
