Tax Free Weekend SC 2025
South Carolina’s 2025 Tax Free Weekend is right around the corner! From Friday, August 1 through Sunday, August 3, you’ll have a full three days to shop without paying the state’s six percent sales tax—or any local taxes—on qualifying items. It’s the perfect time to grab those back‑to‑school essentials and save some extra cash.
During the holiday, you can stock up on clothing and accessories like school uniforms, sneakers, and even swimwear. School supplies are tax‑free too, including backpacks, notebooks, calculators, books, and musical instruments. If you’ve been thinking about buying a new computer, printer, or software for the school year, this is the weekend to do it—there’s no price limit on eligible items. Certain bed and bath items are also included, making it a great time to pick up dorm room or home essentials.
The holiday kicks off at 12:01 a.m. on Friday and runs through midnight on Sunday. You can shop in‑store or online—just make sure your items are paid for and accepted during the weekend and shipped to a South Carolina address. Some things, like jewelry, cosmetics, eyewear, furniture, rentals, and business purchases, aren’t tax‑free, so keep that in mind while shopping.
Tax Free Weekend is the perfect opportunity to check off your school shopping list without breaking the bank. Make a list ahead of time, shop early for the best selection, and hang onto your receipts in case you need to make any returns or exchanges.
