Retailer Tax Fairness Act; enact.
SB 2825, the "Retailer Tax Fairness Act," would give Mississippi retailers a credit toward their state and local sales taxes equal to 2.5% of taxes collected on credit or debit card purchases. It applies when retailers pay fees charged by card networks (interchange fees) but do not add those fees as a separate charge to customers. The credit would reduce the total tax amount retailers owe on those electronic transactions. The bill was introduced in 2025 but died in committee before becoming law.
