MISSISSIPPI, JUN 30 – Mississippi reduces grocery tax from 7% to 5%, phases out state income tax, and mandates clear domestic or imported labeling on all seafood to enhance consumer transparency.
- Mississippi implemented several new laws on July 1, 2025, including tax reforms, seafood labeling, and military medic licensing across the state.
- These changes followed a legislative session focused on reducing grocery taxes, increasing gas taxes, and phasing out state income taxes to compete with neighboring states.
- The grocery tax dropped from 7 percent to 5 percent, the gas tax rose three cents per gallon, and income tax will decrease 0.25 percent annually until reaching 3 percent in 2030.
- A family of four paying $1,000 monthly on groceries will save $20 each month, while increased fuel taxes translate to about $1.50 extra spent monthly on gas.
