Title: South Carolina Withholding Tax Tips for Remote Employees
The South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) recently released a summary of tips to assist employers dealing with withholding tax compliance for their remote workforce. The rules for remote employees are complicated in many states & the pandemic made this a critical priority for many employers. Here are some highlights from the SCDOR tips:
- If you live in South Carolina and work from home for an out-of-state employer, South Carolina income taxes should be withheld from your paycheck, and you will need to file a South Carolina individual income tax return.
- If you are an out-of-state employer with remote employees who work in South Carolina, in general you must register, collect and remit South Carolina withholding taxes on behalf of your SC workforce.
- If you are an employer in South Carolina and hire employees who are not South Carolina residents and work outside of South Carolina, you will likely be required to withhold income taxes from the wages for the state the remote employee is physically located in.
