How should the tax be remitted?

Taxes should be remitted to the Georgetown County Finance Department by the 20th of each month for the prior month’s total collections. The taxes shall be remitted monthly when the estimated amount of average tax is more than $50 per month, on a quarterly basis when the estimated amount is $25 to $50 per month, and on an annual basis when the estimated amount of average tax is less than $25 per month. Each remittance must include a completed local accommodations/hospitality tax return form and a copy of the South Carolina sales tax computation form. For zero gross sales, the Hospitality Tax Return Form (PDF) must be remitted indicating zero gross amounts. Businesses collecting taxes from multiple locations should complete a reporting form for each location.
