Reforming Tax Code Increases Opportunity, Growth for South Carolinians

Mar 9, 2020 by AFP

COLUMBIA, SC – Americans for Prosperity-South Carolina (AFP-SC) today urged senators to build on H.4431, a bill that modernizes South Carolina’s business license tax, and support comprehensive tax reform. H.4431 would standardize how businesses pay business license taxes and establish a portal where all businesses can register and pay their taxes.

The grassroots group is also running a targeted digital ad campaign that enables South Carolinians to contact their legislator in support of the bill.

Americans for Prosperity-South Carolina State Director Andrew Yates released the following statement:

“Reforming our antiquated tax code and bringing it into the 21^st Century will improve our state’s competitiveness. Right now, the current business license tax is one area in our tax code that creates a compliance nightmare, wasting employers’ time and money. Senators should not only support this common-sense legislation, but reform our entire tax code to make it fairer, flatter and simpler to help unleash growth and opportunity.”
