Tax-Free Weekend is Aug. 7-9 in SC

South Carolina holds the 16th annual Sales Tax Holiday weekend from 12:01am Aug. 7 through midnight Aug. 9, 2015. “This is a great time to purchase those back-to-school supplies, clothes, household items and computers. Classroom teachers in the School District of Oconee County will be receiving a $250 check for classroom supplies on the first day they return to work on Aug. 11. Teachers may use receipts from any classroom supply purchase made during the tax-free weekend to reconcile with the $250 they receive from the school district for this purpose,” said Oconee County Schools Assistant Superintendent of Operations Steve Hanvey. Students return to school in the School District of Oconee County on Aug. 18.
