Local option tax to cut Aiken hospitality levy
City officials in Aiken say a Local Option Sales Tax LOSt would yield a tax break if approved by voters in November. The plan would eliminate the 2 cent hospitality tax and fund recreation facilities and the Aiken Center for Performing Arts. A millage reduction of one to three mills is possible, lowering city taxes for homeowners and possibly reducing vehicle and other property taxes. The proposal also underpins street improvements and park projects while a separate referendum asks voters about further tax cuts.
