Act 110 (H.4216), signed March 30, 2026, restructured South Carolina's individual income tax into two brackets: 1.99% on the first $30,000 of SC taxable income, 5.21% above. Social Security is fully exempt, with real, coordinated (not simply additive) retirement-income deductions capped at $15,000 combined for filers 65+ -- particularly relevant given how many Hardeeville residents are retirees.
A 9.0% combined sales tax
The 2026 combined sales tax rate in Hardeeville is 9%: 6% South Carolina state, 1% Jasper County, and a 2% special district tax (Avalara, retrieved 2026-08-24).
