SUMMARY: The Mississippi Senate has advanced legislation to reduce the state’s income tax to 2.99% by 2030 and lower the grocery tax from 7% to 5% by July 2025, aiming to provide financial relief amid bipartisan support.

While the Senate’s bill reduces taxes, concerns were raised about its impact on the state’s retirement system, which is only 56% funded. Opponents argued it could create future financial problems. Both the Senate and House have proposed tax reforms, which will be reconciled in conference committees.
