Agile Victorious in Ruling: South Carolina Exemption for Drugs Paid for by Medicare Part A

Kevin Cincinatus • Aug 07, 2017

Agile Consulting has won its argument with the South Carolina Department of Revenue regarding whether hospitals and Long-Term Acute Care (“LTAC”) facilities can qualify for the South Carolina sales tax exemption for drugs paid for by patients with Medicare A coverage.  Provided that the facility has a license as a skilled nursing facility, then it is properly licensed as a “nursing home” and is entitled to claim the benefit of the exemption provided in SC Code Ann. §12-36-2120(28)(f). The certification required is issued on an annual basis by the SC Department of Health & Environmental Control and states the maximum licensed capacity of nursing home beds the facility is allowed to maintain and operate.  Some facilities may only have a portion of the facility licensed in this manner.  In cases such as that the drug purchases will need to be bifurcated and apportioned to only include Medicare A drugs within the nursing home portion of the facility.

By Aaron Giles • 29 Jan, 2024
Sales tax holidays give shoppers a break from paying tax on purchases. Many states offer sales tax holidays to boost consumerism and help their local economies. In some cases, sales tax holidays are held on multiple dates throughout the year. They may be inclusive, meaning all items are included in the tax-free shopping, or they may be selective, in which case only certain things are part of the sales tax holiday.
