Mississippi sales tax holiday begins Friday

The Mississippi sales tax holiday, often called the tax-free weekend, begins this Friday at 12:01 a.m. and runs through midnight Sunday, according to state officials.

During the period, shoppers can purchase certain eligible items without paying sales tax. The Mississippi Department of Revenue has provided a list of qualifying and non-qualifying items for the event.

Consumers are encouraged to review the official guide to determine which products are exempt from sales tax during the holiday weekend. The guide is available at this link.

State officials remind shoppers to plan ahead and take advantage of the savings during the three-day period.
