A BILL

TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 12-6-515, SO AS TO PROVIDE A MAXIMUM FIVE PERCENT STATE INCOME TAX RATE ON SOUTH CAROLINA TAXABLE INCOME RECEIVED BY A TAXPAYER IN THE TAXPAYER'S CAPACITY AS A SOLE PROPRIETOR OF A BUSINESS, A SHAREHOLDER OF A SUBCHAPTER "S" CORPORATION, PARTNER IN A PARTNERSHIP, OR MEMBER OF A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Article 5, Chapter 6, Title 12 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 12-6-515. Notwithstanding the rates imposed pursuant to Section 12-6-510, a maximum rate of five percent of South Carolina taxable income applies to income received by or attributed to a taxpayer as a result of the taxpayer's status as a:

(1) sole proprietor of a business;

(2) shareholder of a subchapter 'S' corporation;

(3) partner in a partnership; or

(4) member of a limited liability company.

The special rate allowed by this section does not apply for a guaranteed payment to a partner for personal service rendered by the partner for the partnership."

SECTION 2. Upon approval by the Governor, this act applies for taxable years beginning after 1999.

----XX----
