Farmers can benefit from a variety of Sales Tax exemptions if they understand how to properly claim them. The South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) has new resources to help you navigate them:
- A recent revenue ruling explaining Sales Tax exemptions for farmers
- A Sales & Use Tax Seminar for tax pros in the agricultural industry
One big thing: To claim certain exemptions, farmers must present a SCATE card, issued by the SC Department of Agriculture, at the time of purchase.
Start by reading RR #25-6: Tax Exemptions for Farmers.
This revenue ruling answers frequently asked questions about:
- which items are considered tax-exempt
- when a SCATE card is necessary to claim an exemption
- how retailers should handle sales of exempt items
