The rebate amount received is reliant upon an applicant’s tax liability — the total state income tax owed by a South Carolina resident for the 2021 tax year. If residents have an outstanding individual income tax bill with the department, the amount they receive may be lower than their tax liability. That bill will be subtracted from the rebate amount.
The rebate amount will be equal to the tax liability if the latter is less than $800. The rebate amount will be equal to the tax liability. Recipients whose tax liability is greater than $800 will receive $800 exactly.
