South Carolina has so much going for it. It’s a high growth area as more and more people decide to leave cold weather climates and head south. The economy has lots of business activity particularly in the area of manufacturing and health care…and of course there are always the lovely and highly popular South Carolina Beaches.
So you’re thinking of making a move south and you’re wondering what the tax ramifications might be of living in the state of South Carolina? Well, here is a terrific resource about South Carolina taxes from Smart Asset that goes through much of what you’ll probably be looking for as you make your decision to move to South Carolina. I don’t think this has the information about how South Carolina will tax you when you bring vehicles in to the state from another state. That’s always a BIG surprise for folks and I’ll either add that to this post tomorrow or do a separate one on that issue. That tax will leave a mark 🙂
A few weeks ago I was driving along Laurens Road in Greenville heading towards Verdae. On the northeast corner at Laurens and Verdae I noticed that the land had been cleared and it was a fairly large parcel. I’d never really noticed it before because it was so hidden by trees and brush along Laurens. Turns out this is going to be the new and very impressive headquarters for Southern First Bank.
The Upstate Business Journal does a great job of talking through how Southern First Bank decided they needed a new HQ and what their plans are for the building. This will be a stunning addition to the area and seems to be a great example of some of the beautiful new buildings going up in Greenville.
