Mississippi decreases their sales tax rate on groceries sales from 7% to 5% beginning July 1, 2025.

Mississippi decreased their sales tax rate on groceries sales from 7% to 5%, beginning July 1, 2025. The term groceries encompasses any food or drink that is for human consumption and could be bought with food stamps. If it is actually purchased with food stamps, there is no tax. If it is not eligible to be purchased with food stamps, then the full rate of 7% is due. Only items that are eligible to be purchased with food stamps but are purchased without food stamps are subject to the 5%.
