SHOP LOCAL. YOUR PENNY MAKES A DIFFERENCE!
The Berkeley County Board of Education met on August 9, 2022 and passed a resolution to place a one-percent sales tax on the November 2022 ballots of Berkeley County voters. The resolution was passed by Berkeley County voters with a 70 percent approval rate. It is now in place for seven calendar years, ending on December 31, 2029.
Commonly identified as a "penny tax," the one-percent tax is an Education Capital Improvements Sales and Use Tax. The Educational Capital Improvements Sales and Use Tax Act authorizes qualifying school districts in South Carolina to impose a one-percent sales tax for specific capital improvement projects.
