Mississippi’s 2026 Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday Underway Through Sunday

Mississippi is observing its 2026 Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday from today through Sunday, Aug. 30. During this period, the state will not collect sales tax on the purchase of firearms, ammunition, and certain hunting supplies, according to the Mississippi Department of Revenue.

The exemption applies to items listed in the official guide, which is available on the department’s website. Shoppers are encouraged to review the guide for specific details and eligible products.

This annual sales tax holiday aims to promote firearm safety and support hunting activities across the state, officials said. The event provides an opportunity for residents to purchase firearms and related supplies tax-free before the start of the hunting season.
