The state rate fills in.
On your South Carolina invoices, the tobacco tax is vapor. Cigarettes are covered by the stamps you buy and other tobacco by your own monthly return, so neither carries a tax line.

Know your next step.
Why is vapor the only tax line?
South Carolina collects cigarette tax through the stamps you buy, and other tobacco tax on your own monthly return. Neither is a line on your invoice, so HQ charges vapor only.
What about liquid with no nicotine?
It isn’t taxed. Keep it in a category of its own, without the vapor rate.
Does HQ file or pay for us?
No. HQ charges the tax on your invoices and shows the month’s amounts. You file your return in MyDORWAY and pay the state.
Can we sell into Alabama, or other states, too?
Yes. Turn on every state you sell into. Each customer’s state decides the tax on their documents, and that state’s licence numbers print at the top.
