South Carolina may be the only place where 鈥渕eat processing plants鈥� and 鈥渃harity donations鈥� occupy the same tax form. Any meat packer, butcher, or processing plant in the state can get a $50 rebate by donating a processed deer carcass to a charity, which will use it to feed the hungry.
None of the meat may have been used previously for commercial purposes, and meat providers must 鈥渟kin, cut, bone, grind, package, or perform any butchering tasks necessary to prepare the meat for distribution and consumption鈥� before it can be donated. This deduction to professional meat processors.
So if you鈥檙e in the venison business, want to do a good deed, and get a break on your taxes, it looks like South Carolina is your state.
