When I read the title...
quote:

Bill would eliminate Mississippi state income tax.


...maybe it would be easier to make my second home my primary residence in Mississippi instead of Texas or Florida.


quote:

The legislation would eliminate the state’s personal income tax starting in 2022 for:

•Individuals making up to $47,700
•Couples making up to $95,400
•Head-of-family individuals making up to $46,600


Nah, never mind.

If they exempt the first 95k for couples that would definitely be better than an all or nothing cut off. Didn’t say in the op that the first x amount of Income would be exempt.

When people on the board say Mississippi is leading the way they are usually referring to a MS v LA state v state comparison. Not a national leading the way argument.

I can’t believe that has to be explained to people who have been on this board longer than 5 minutes

Texas makes their revenue from property taxes. Don't see anything about the current and proposed property tax rates.


Property taxes should be the first tax removed from society. I've never understood how it is constitutional to pass a tax that never allows an individual to own land.

I agree. As soon as you don't pay, they take your land. So was it ever really yours in the first place?

I know people in the legislature and I’d be surprised if this passes. It’s not completely doa but there are a lot of people up there that have issues with this.

Curious as to what their issues are. One of the most frustrating things about legislation is no one ever attaches their names to specific portions of bills and no one ever gives a specific reason behind why they voted it down.

Do Ole Miss fans get their income tax eliminated or only Mississippi State?


They are phasing it in by income levels, so draw your own conclusions there.

I honestly can't believe so many citizens just meekly accepted state income taxes.

The budget transformation in the state of Tennessee since the Medicaid crisis and income tax debate has been incredible.

It's fricking amazing what business and employee friendly tax structure and fiscal restraint can do for a state.

So lower taxes on lower class. Again the middle class is screwed paying higher taxes

Their state sales tax is already 7%? Isn't La's only 4% and the parishes levy their own? How much do they Ms. counties add on top of that 7%?

I was going to point that out, but it does move higher, potentially.

The lower class needs to pay more in taxes as they are the number one drivers of the need for jails, courts, handouts, etc.

Is $48000 not middle class?

It is. And as I’ve said in this thread typically threshold based income taxes mean that you don’t start paying taxes until that threshold is reached.

Meaning your first $47,700 would not be taxed.
