flag South Carolina moves to phase out income tax with new two-tier system and automatic rate cuts.

flag A South Carolina bill to phase out the state’s income tax advanced in the Senate, shifting to a two-tier system of 1.99% for incomes under $30,000 and 5.39% for higher earners. flag The plan replaces federal taxable income with adjusted gross income, removes federal deductions, and adds a state deduction for low-income residents. flag Tax rates would automatically decrease if revenue grows by 5% or more annually, potentially eliminating the income tax over time. flag Proponents say it returns money to taxpayers and closes loopholes, with projections showing most would pay no more or less, though some would pay more. flag The bill awaits a full Senate Finance Committee vote.
