South Carolina Income, Sales and Property Taxes

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 🙂

Husband of 36 years to my college sweetheart, Janet Murphy (@janetmurphydesign on Instagram). Together we have 6 wonderful children from ages 18-34 and 6 grandchildren. My main work is helping commercial building owners and real estate investors save money on their income taxes by doing cost segregation. I work all over the U.S. but have a lot of clients here in SC and in the southeast in particular. The firm I represent is CSSI, LLC. I love the work! I’ve also been a licensed REALTOR since 2003 and broker since 2007 but my work is limited to just a few clients each year. We relocated to Greenville, SC for the lifestyle, lower cost of living, amazing amenities in the area and the growth opportunity for business and real estate. We absolutely love it here!
