Mississippians to save soon on groceries, school supplies and clothes, and hunting gear

 

Shoppers in Mississippi will get some considerable tax breaks in July and August, with one of them going into effect permanently in the Magnolia State on July 1st.

The Mississippi Department of Revenue (MDOR) is slashing the sales tax rate on groceries purchased in the state by two-percent, from seven-percent to five-percent, effective July 1st.

Then, on July 11 through July 13, Mississippi shoppers will get another, temporary sales tax break through the state’s Sales Tax Holiday Weekend, just in time for school clothes and supplies shopping before the 2024-2025 school year arrives.

In August, Mississippi Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday will take place from August 29 -August 31.

Be sure to check out our upcoming edition of the Long Beach Breeze/Pass Post newspaper for a breakdown on all the products covered and savings.

    The school year date you have in the article says 2024-2025. It should say 2025-2026.

      I saw that mistake after I had posted the article. I have since gone back and changed the years. Thank you for calling it to my attention.
