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:

(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."
