I just mailed forms to return my sales tax on my Prius that is now one month old. My dealer called to tell me that SC was refunding sales tax from July 06 until July 07. SC is also giving tax credit of 20% of the federal amount. Not only am I very pleased with the Prius and its fuel economy, SC is helping to improve my decision. I am averaging just below 50 mpg with much of the mileage delivering meals on wheels. I now have 3100 miles. Thanks Priuschat folks!!

It is SC Dept of Revenue form ST-447 called Fuel Efficiency Tax Rebate and is mailed to SC Dept of Revenue Tales Tax- Rebate Dept PO Box 125 Columbia, SC 29214-0106 Hope this helps!
Hmm... the only information I could find was for plug-in hybrids, fuel cell vehicles, and Flex-Fuel vehicles (E-85): Link to General Assembly Document But this is very interesting: (4) There shall be a sales tax rebate of up to $500 for purchase of equipment that results in the conversion of a conventional hybrid gasoline-electric vehicle to a plug-in hybrid gasoline-electric vehicle. The rebate shall be in the form of a payment sent to the buyer upon completion of a form created by the Department of Revenue and made available to the public and dealers.
Michigan, are you listening? SC is refunding the Prius taxes...! Can you hear me? Can you hear me now? :mellow:
HI - Is this true for Southern California as well as South Carolina? Do SC dealers refund California Sales Tax (which is high) on the Prius? Stuart
Ah, the life of the (not classic) Early Adopter. No big tax break, no sales tax refund, no two-model-years-later improvements. Harkens back to signing up for RoadRunner a month before they waived the $100+ in fees/install charges...

Flex Fuel , Hydrogen Fuel Cell, and Hybrid Gas-Electric. There is another $500 rebate on purchase of equipment used to convert conventional gasoline-electric vehicle to plug-in hybrid gas-electric vehicles. I hope this clears up the SC Rebate.
