South Carolina collected $272 million in license taxes during the fourth quarter of 2024, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Quarterly Summary of State and Local Taxes.

This represents a 6.7% increase over the same quarter the previous year, when license tax revenue was $255 million.

The Census Bureau cautions that it sets the tax classifications among the survey categories, and they may differ from the classifications set by state governments.

Overall, South Carolina collected $4.8 billion in combined tax revenues in Q4.
