South Carolina S0252 amends the state income tax credit for conservation contributions, allowing taxpayers to claim a credit equal to 25% of the total value of the gift rather than the charitable deduction allowed on their federal income tax return. The bill increases the maximum annual credit allowed from $52,500 to $150,000 and adjusts the credit for inflation. It also removes obsolete provisions. The credit is subject to per-acre and annual caps, and unused credit can be carried forward or transferred with approval from the Department of Revenue.
