Tax Free Weekend announced for SC

South Carolina’s 14th annual Sales Tax Holiday weekend will begin at 12:01am on August 2, 2013.  It is a great time to purchase those back-to-school supplies, clothes, household items and computers.  The tax-free holiday concludes at midnight on August 4. You can find out more about the holiday and items exempt from taxes by visiting the School District of Oconee County’s website at www.oconee.k12.sc.us.  Classroom teachers in the School District of Oconee County will be receiving a $275 check for classroom supplies on the first day they return to work on August 13.  Teachers may use receipts from any classroom supply purchases made during the tax-free weekend to reconcile with the $275 they receive from the school district for this purpose.  Students return to school in Oconee County on Tuesday, August 20.
