Mississippi House passes bill to phase out income tax, cut grocery tax
SUMMARY: The Mississippi House of Representatives approved the “Build Up Mississippi Act,” designed to eliminate the state income tax and reduce the grocery tax after an hour of debate, passing with an 88-24 vote. The legislation aims for roughly a $1 billion tax cut over a decade, with the income tax phased out by 2037 and grocery taxes reduced from the highest in the country. Concerns over budget impacts were addressed by securing rain-day funds. The Act also reallocates lottery proceeds to bolster the public employees’ retirement system. It will now move to the Senate for further consideration.
