Mississippi to Phase Out Income Tax Under New Law

Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves has officially signed a bill into law that sets the state on a path to phase out its income tax. The legislation, a major victory for conservative economic policy, aims to gradually reduce and eventually eliminate personal income tax in the state, making Mississippi one of the few states without such a levy.
Supporters argue that the move will attract businesses, boost economic growth, and put more money into the hands of residents. Opponents, however, warn that eliminating the tax could strain state revenues, potentially affecting funding for education, infrastructure, and public services.
Gov. Reeves hailed the decision as a step toward greater financial freedom, emphasizing Mississippi’s commitment to lower taxes and a pro-business environment. The phase-out plan will occur over several years, with incremental reductions to ensure a smooth transition.
Mississippi now joins a growing number of states pursuing aggressive tax-cutting measures, reflecting a broader national debate over taxation and economic policy.
