A Republican lawmaker from Greenville wants certain ammunition to be exempt from state sales tax.
Representative Ashley Trantham is proposing a measure to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws to create a sales tax exemption for small arms ammunition. This would mean there will be no 6-percent South Carolina state sales tax for ammo used in rifles, shotguns, pistols, and revolvers with certain size barrels.
The bill was pre-filed last month and has already been referred to the Ways and Means Committee.
