SUMMARY: Mississippi House and Senate leaders introduced plans on Monday to eliminate the state income tax while simultaneously raising gasoline taxes, marking a significant shift for the Senate. The House plans to increase the state’s sales tax from 7% to 8% and impose a 15-cent gasoline tax hike, phased over three years, to fund infrastructure.
