AI Summary
This bill proposes to completely eliminate individual income tax in South Carolina, effective for tax years beginning after 2024. Specifically, the legislation would add a new section to the state tax code (Section 12-6-511) that nullifies any tax on the South Carolina taxable income of individuals, estates, and trusts, and invalidates all related tax filing and withholding requirements. The bill also repeals several existing sections of tax law that previously established income tax rates, tax brackets, and annual adjustments to those brackets, including Sections 12-6-510, 12-6-515, 12-6-520, and 12-6-545. By removing these provisions, the bill effectively eliminates the state's individual income tax structure entirely. The legislation would take effect immediately upon receiving the Governor's approval, which would represent a significant change to South Carolina's tax policy by removing a major source of state revenue and fundamentally altering the state's approach to taxation.
