One prefiled bill by the SC House of Representatives would raise the current $300 sales tax cap on vehicles up to $750, with the additional money going.
Another bill prefiled by Rep. Nathan Ballentine, R-Chapin, would use any new money collected from Internet sales for state roads and bridges. He thinks it’s just a matter of time before the U.S. Congress passes a law requiring states to collect the sales tax on things people buy online.
He says, “How can we vote to raise a gas tax before we consider other alternatives? It’s my opinion, and others at the national level, that Congress will approve their bill next session and SC needs to be ready to pass along more than $100 million to our roads that does not involve a new tax or any tax hike.”
