AI Summary

  • Phases out Mississippi's state income tax on resident individuals through calendar year 2030 by implementing graduated annual tax rate reductions beginning in 2017.

  • Reduces the lowest tax bracket from 3% to 0% by 2019, then progressively reduces the highest bracket from 5% down to 0% by 2030, with income over $10,000 taxed at rates declining from 5% in 2022 to 0% by 2030.

  • Makes each scheduled tax rate reduction contingent upon General Fund revenue collections exceeding the prior fiscal year by at least 3%; if the threshold is not met, the reduction carries forward to the next eligible year rather than being skipped.

  • Eliminates income tax obligations completely for all resident individuals starting January 1, 2030, ending the state's individual income tax system.

  • Takes effect July 1, 2015.
