The Mississippi legislative session has recently concluded, and one of the standout bills from this session is the income tax elimination bill. While House Bill 1 does not entirely eliminate the income tax, it sets the state on a path towards this goal. The bill will gradually reduce the state income tax by 0.25 percent each year until it reaches 3 percent, down from the current rate of 4.7 percent. By 2030, Mississippi aims to join the fewer than 10 states with no state income tax.
The Build Up Mississippi Act, as the bill is known, is designed to enhance the state’s financial competitiveness by attracting more businesses and residents. Supporters believe that by creating a more favorable tax environment, Mississippi will be better positioned to stimulate economic growth and development. The bill also includes triggers based on economic performance to guide future tax cuts.
The goal is for Mississippi to continue building on its successes, such as in education and healthcare, while also attracting major enterprises to the state in order to further drive economic growth. The passage of this bill is seen as a significant step towards achieving these objectives and creating a more prosperous future for the state. Lawmakers and leaders statewide are encouraged to work together to realize the vision of a stronger, more vibrant Mississippi.
