South Carolina’s State Income Tax system is similar to, and generally based upon, the Federal system. In calculating your annual State tax, you use the taxable income figure from your Federal Return as your original basis. You are allowed certain deductions from your total income and are taxed on the remainder. You are not taxed, for example, on real property which is owned out-of-state. You are liable for taxes on earned income amassed in other states, although you may be eligible for credit for taxes on the income which was paid to other states. Also, the State of South Carolina does not tax your Social Security income. PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX Personal property taxes vary from district to district throughout Beaufort County, for each district sets its own rate. REAL ESTATE TAX The County tax assessor places an appraised value on your real estate based upon comparable sales, the property’s condition, etc. This appraised value is then multiplied by 4% for residents and 6% for non-residents and corporations, to determine the “assessed value” of a property. The assessed value is then multiplied by the appropriate millage rate for your district. Residents that qualify for the 4% tax ratio are exempt from taxes imposed for school operating expenses. Therefore, the millage rates differ for non-residents and residents. It is important to remember that the information here is general in nature. If you have specific questions, please give us a call or check with the Beaufort County Treasurers Office. »»  BEAUFORT COUNTY TAX SITE
