What to watch for
Bookkeeping in Mississippi
Mississippi owners near Memphis, New Orleans or Mobile often serve customers across state lines. We keep each state's activity separate in the books.
A sales tax guide lists a 7% state rate. The Department of Revenue assigns a monthly, quarterly or annual schedule based on sales volume, and returns are due the 20th of the month after the period (the next business day when it falls on a weekend or holiday). A registered seller must file even when sales were $0. We confirm your schedule on your own Taxpayer Access Point (TAP) account.
Official sources: Mississippi Department of Revenue and the Mississippi Secretary of State. Rules and rates change, so we confirm the current ones for your account.
