Petition to help disabled vets (sales tax exemption)
South Carolina veterans and supporters — I’ve started a petition to ask the South Carolina General Assembly to exempt veterans rated 100% Permanent & Total (P&T) by the VA from paying state sales tax on qualifying purchases (exclude alcohol, tobacco and vehicles like other states).
Two states, including Oklahoma, already provide this type of relief. Oklahoma exempts eligible disabled veterans from sales tax on up to $25,000 in purchases each year, providing meaningful financial support to those who have sustained life-changing service-connected disabilities.
South Carolina already offers property tax and vehicle tax exemptions for 100% disabled veterans. A sales tax exemption would be a logical next step to honor those who sacrificed so much for our country.
This proposal would help veterans living on fixed incomes while recognizing the ongoing costs associated with severe service-connected disabilities.
Please consider signing and sharing the petition:
If you are a veteran, family member, or supporter in South Carolina, your signature and share can help build momentum and encourage lawmakers to sponsor this legislation.
Thank you for your support.
