South Carolina Tax Free Weekend 2026 runs from Friday, August 7 through Sunday, August 9. During this 72-hour sales tax holiday, eligible shoppers can buy clothing, shoes, school supplies, computers, printers, and select bed and bath items without paying South Carolina sales tax. The state holds this event on the first Friday through Sunday in August, and eligible items are exempt during that window.
