CALCULATING LOCAL TAX ON ST-389
Column A Net Taxable Amount: Enter net taxable sales or purchases made for each county or jurisdiction.
Column B Local Tax: Multiply Column A by the applicable tax rate and enter results in Column B for the applicable county
or jurisdiction.
Column C Discount: A taxpayer discount may be claimed when the return is filed and tax is paid in full on or before the due
date of the return. No discount is allowed if the return or payment is received after the due date. The discount is computed by
multiplying the tax amount of Column B by the applicable discount rate (Column B x Discount Rate - Use the same
discount rate as used on line 5 of Form ST-3).
Note: Discounts are not allowed to exceed $3,000 per taxpayer (for all locations) during any one South Carolina fiscal year,
which covers payments made from July 1 through June 30. This includes all returns which become due during this period
(returns for June through May). The $3,000 maximum includes the total discounts for sales/use and local tax. Taxpayers
who file and pay electronically are allowed a $3,100 maximum discount. The discount amount is $10,000 for out-of-state
retailers who cannot be required to register for sales and use tax, but who voluntarily register to collect and remit the tax.
However, you must receive prior approval from the Department of Revenue for the $10,000 discount.
Column D Net Amount After Discount: (Column B minus Column C) Enter total in Column D for each applicable tax to be
reported.
