Local tax law spurs confusion among counties
South Carolina lawmakers sought a local option to collect up to six months of taxes on new construction owner-occupied by June 30 but the attorney general warns the measure may violate uniformity requirements. Counties fear refunds if courts strike the law. In Horry and Lexington, potential new revenue runs into millions, prompting calls from Rep. Haley and others to fix or expand the rule while preserving flexibility.
