Tax Credit for Port Volume Increase

Further evidence of South Carolina's pro-business climate is the "International Trade Incentive Program," which provides state income tax credits to companies that increase cargo shipments through the state's port facilities.

The ITIP program is geared toward drawing distribution centers and other international shippers, while also rewarding existing companies for expanding their shipments through the state's ports.
