Staple of summertime returns August 4-6

South Carolinians get a break from the taxman the first weekend in August.  Friday through Sunday, August 4-6, is designated as Tax Free Weekend.  According to the Department of Revenue, for 72 hours tax-free items will include computers, printers, school supplies, clothing and accessories, shoes, and certain bed and bath items.  Those tax-free items can be purchased in-store or online.  Last year South Carolina shoppers bought more than $26.2 million in tax-free items during the Tax Free Weekend.
