Sales Tax Holiday to give SC Small Businesses a Boost

NFIB State Director Ben Homeyer says this weekend’s sales tax holiday on clothes, school supplies, and computers should give a boost to South Carolina’s small businesses. The sales tax holiday because Friday and ends Sunday. “Hopefully, it will be a big weekend for small businesses,” Homeyer said. “When you combine the savings of the sales-tax holiday with the usual back-to-school sales, you’re going to help people get a bigger bang for their buck.” NFIB is encouraging people to support local businesses by shopping small this weekend, Homeyer said. “When you shop at small, locally-owned businesses, you’re helping your friends and neighbors,” he said. “You’re supporting the businesses that support our schools and charities and create jobs in our communities.” To learn more about South Carolina’s sales tax holiday, visit the Department of Revenue’s website at https://dor.sc.gov/taxfreeweekend.
