equals 0.1% (rounded up) of the fair market value of property owned and used in South Carolina to conduct business, as
determined by the SCDOR for the prior year's Property Tax. Distribution Electric Cooperatives must add 0.3% (rounded
up) of gross receipts from services rendered from regulated business in South Carolina during the prior tax year. The
minimum License Fee is $25.
Line 1: The fair market value of property owned and used in the conduct of business in South Carolina is the tax
assessment value divided by 10.5%. This amount is shown on the PT-422, South Carolina Property Tax Proposed

Line 5: Gross receipts, as used in SC Code Section 12-20-100, include all receipts from operations in South Carolina,
and other profit and loss items located in South Carolina. Income from intangibles used to conduct business in South
Carolina is also included in gross receipts. For more information, see SC Regulation 117-1075.1, available at dor.sc.gov/
policy.
Line 8: If the company paid cash to provide infrastructure for a qualifying project, enter the amount of credit applied on
line 8 and complete Part II. Attach a schedule to the return that includes the following:
• the name of the person completing the project
• a description of the project
• the county where the project is located
• the sections of the statute the project qualifies under
• the amounts paid in cash
• recipient and date of payment
• a description of the infrastructure provided
• the date the infrastructure was completed or is expected to be completed
If the infrastructure has not been completed as of the date the return is filed, include a waiver of the statute of limitations.
Beginning with the 2022 tax year, the maximum credit for a single tax year may not exceed $600,000. If the total credit
claimed is for a project located in a Tier II, Tier III, or Tier IV county, the maximum aggregate credit amount is increased
by $50,000 for Tier II Counties, $100,000 for Tier III Counties, and $150,000 for Tier IV Counties. Find Information Letters
