Bill > H5208

This bill amends Section 12-36-2120 of the South Carolina Code of Laws to expand the sales tax exemption for unprepared foods. Currently, this exemption applies to unprepared foods that can be purchased with Food Coupons, which are government-issued benefits to help low-income individuals and families buy food. The bill removes a restriction that limited this exemption to only those unprepared foods that are not subject to specific federal regulations or demonstration projects that might restrict the use of Food Coupons. In essence, this means that more types of unprepared foods, even if they are part of a temporary federal program that limits Food Coupon use, will now be exempt from South Carolina state sales and use tax.
