SB 3191: Sales tax; exclude processing or interchange fees charged for electronic payment transactions from "gross proceeds of sales."

SB 3191 amends Mississippi's sales tax code to exclude fees charged by credit or debit card companies for electronic transactions from the definition of "gross proceeds of sales."

The bill directly affects retailers and service providers that accept electronic payments, reducing their taxable sales revenue. The key change is a simple definition update in Section 27-65-3 of the Mississippi Code, altering how sales tax is calculated on transaction fees.
