South Carolina Small Business Tax Laws
Posted by Molly
Are you starting a small business in the state of South Carolina? If so, you will need to consider how you are going to set up your business. Will it be organized as a sole proprietorship, a partnership, a corporation, or an LLC? There are advantages and disadvantages to all of these, depending on the type of business you want to establish and the type of taxes that apply to it.
Another thing to consider is how you’re going to learn about the South Carolina small business tax laws. You are expected to collect and remit sales tax in the proper amount each quarter, plus you have other certain taxes that are due to the state and the federal government. These entities expect you to be aware of the laws and to learn about changes to them.
You can register through the state for most of the business taxes with the Business Tax Application. This form is used to register for a retail license, a purchaser’s certificate of registration, solid waste tax, business personal property tax and income tax withholding.
There will be other additional taxes that you may have to collect, and other licenses or permits required, depending on the nature of your business. Some of them are: Admissions Tax License, Alcoholic Beverage License, Bingo License, Tobacco Manufacturers’, Distributors’ and Wholesalers’ Licenses, Coin-Operated Device License, International Fuel Tax Agreement Permit, Gasoline Dealers, Special Fuel Suppliers and Seller Users Licenses , and a Soft Drinks License.
If you’re selling goods, you will need a retail sales license ($50) or if you are selling arts and crafts at fairs and such, you will pay $20. The state sales and use tax will have to be collected, reported, and paid to the state. That tax is 5 percent, plus several counties levy an additional 1 percent tax.
