## When to register for tax collection

In South Carolina, Stripe Tax supports calculation and collection of sales tax (including seller use tax) and additional tax types.

See [Needs attention](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/locations?primary_tab=needs_attention) tab to get insights about your potential tax registration obligations in South Carolina. Stripe also notifies you with email and Dashboard alerts when you need to register to collect tax. Learn more about how the [monitoring tool works](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/monitoring.md).

### Sales tax

Remote sellers must register to collect and remit sales tax in South Carolina when, in the previous or current calendar year, they exceed a sales threshold of 100,000 USD.

The thresholds include gross sales, including marketplace sales.

If your **head office** in the [tax settings page](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/tax) of the Dashboard is in South Carolina, you’re not a remote seller and you must register due to your physical presence in the state.

### Other taxes

We also support calculation and collection of:

- South Carolina Admissions Tax
- Admissions and Hospitality taxes in many [South Carolina local jurisdictions](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registering.md?registrationTypeRegion=united-states&state=SC#registration-types).

These taxes apply to participant and spectator based entertainment, recreational, or amusement activities. Stripe doesn’t include transactions for these taxes in its threshold monitoring.

## Register to collect tax

If you’re a remote seller, [Stripe can register with the local tax authorities](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/use-stripe-to-register.md) for you.

Register for sales tax in South Carolina at the [tax authority](https://dor.sc.gov/tax/sales).

Read our guide to [navigate sales tax registration](https://stripe.com/guides/sales-tax-registration-process-us) for help. You can also use [Stripe to register](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/use-stripe-to-register.md) on your behalf.

After registering, [add your registration](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registering.md#track-your-registrations-in-the-tax-dashboard) in the [Stripe Dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/registrations?location=us-sc) to start collecting tax on your transactions in South Carolina. You must add registrations for types other than sales tax, such as the Myrtle Beach Hospitality Tax, as separate registrations in Stripe.

## How we calculate taxes

Stripe calculates the taxes that apply to your customer’s location.

## Report and file your taxes

Stripe provides reports of your completed tax transactions. Go to [Locations](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/locations) to access these reports.

### Exports

The tax transaction data export provides a comprehensive and aggregated view of transactions by location, including a breakdown of individual tax amounts. Learn more about [tax reporting exports](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/reports.md#exports).

### Location reports

[Location reports](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/reports.md#us-location-reports) offer a summary of transaction and refund data for specific US locations and align with South Carolina filing requirements. You have the option to report on an annual, quarterly, or monthly basis.

### Filing

Stripe Tax has filing partners—Taxually, Marosa, and Hands-off Sales Tax (HOST)—to help automate your tax filing. These partners automatically sync your tax transaction data in real time, eliminating the need for manual data entry or file transfers. Learn more about [tax filing](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/filing.md).
