The South Carolina Transfer Tax Affidavit is a document used to certify that the transfer of real estate is exempt from the South Carolina real estate transfer tax. It is typically signed by the buyer and seller, and is sometimes referred to as the South Carolina Real Estate Transfer Tax Exemption Affidavit. The two main types of South Carolina Transfer Tax Affidavit are the (1) South Carolina Real Estate Transfer Tax Exemption Affidavit and the (2) South Carolina Real Estate Transfer Tax Affidavit for Exempt Transactions. The South Carolina Real Estate Transfer Tax Exemption Affidavit is used to certify that the transfer of real estate is exempt from the South Carolina real estate transfer tax due to the exemption being claimed. This exemption may be due to a transfer between spouses, a transfer from a parent to a child, or a transfer to an entity exempt from taxation. The South Carolina Real Estate Transfer Tax Affidavit for Exempt Transactions is used to certify that the real estate transfer is exempt from the South Carolina real estate transfer tax. This exemption may be due to the transfer being made in a will, a trust, or a foreclosure. Both of these South Carolina Transfer Tax Affidavit forms must be completed and signed in order to be valid.
