Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Bill H 3513 introduces a new provision that prevents local governing bodies in South Carolina from imposing penalties, fines, or other costs on late hospitality tax payments if those payments are received within seven days after the due date. Specifically, any additional charges cannot exceed five percent of the outstanding tax amount. This change is significant because it aims to provide financial relief to those who may struggle to make timely payments, ensuring that penalties remain manageable and fair.
