The Beaufort
County Tax Assessor places an "Appraised Value" on your
real estate, based upon comparable sales, the property's age, location,
condition, etc. This appraised value is then multiplied by 4% for
residents (6% for non-residents and corporations), to determine
the "Assessed Value" of a property. The assessed value
is then multiplied by the millage rate for your district. A $400,000
resident home, for example, has an assessed value of $16,000 ($400,000
X 4%). That $16,000 is then multiplied by the current millage rate
which, in Hilton Head district 550, is .1651. The 2006 property
tax for that home would be $2,642.
South Carolina
has a personal property tax on automobiles, recreational vehicles,
airplanes and boats based on an assessed value of 10.5 percent of
total purchase price. The assessed value is then multiplied by the
appropriate millage rate of the district in which the taxpayer resides.
Exemptions, adjustments and deductions allowed on a federal income
tax return are allowed on a state return. A person's federal taxable
income is the starting point to determine South Carolina state income
tax liability. The following chart shows the sliding scale of South
Carolina's tax rate for personal income:
- Two
percent (2%) on the first $2,000
- Three
percent (3%) on the next $2,000
- Four
percent (4%) on the next $2,000
- Five
percent (5%) on the next $2,000
- Six
percent (6%) on the next $2,000
- Seven
percent (7%) on the next $10,000
|
South Carolina
has a five percent sales tax. Persons 85 years or older pay only 4
percent sales tax. There is a state-wide accommodations tax of 2 percent.
A maximum of $300 is imposed on purchases of motor vehicles, boats
and leased vehicles. Hilton Head Island imposes a 3 percent tax.
Estates worth $1,000,000
or less are exempt from estate tax in South Carolina. |
