BRACK: Sales tax holiday gimmick is here again

By Andy Brack, editor and publisher | Pens, pencils and paper. Blankets, bed spreads and shower curtains. Adult diapers, bonnets, bridal gowns, corsets, costumes, earmuffs, ice skates, ski boots and tuxedos.

All are among the 100-plus exempt items that can be purchased Aug. 5-7 without paying the 6 percent state sales tax during South Carolina’s 17th sales tax holiday. Consumers will save an estimated $2.25 million in the state tax plus any local sales tax that may apply.
