Your operation saves money from the very start with a location in South Carolina, the state that slashes red tape and axes taxes, so that you reap the benefits of:

  • ZERO state property tax
  • ZERO local income tax
  • ZERO inventory tax
  • ZERO sales tax on manufacturing machinery, energy used in manufacturing or materials for finished products.
  • ZERO unitary tax on worldwide profits.

By zeroing out a variety of taxes and creating a business-friendly corporate income tax structure, South Carolina stretches out the welcome mat for companies both large and small.
