Get Mississippi Sales Tax Exemption Form

The state of Mississippi issues just one exemption form, to be utilized when purchasing exempt items such as items intended for resale. The state is one of the few states to only offer one exemption form.

Sales of property, labor or services sold to, billed directly to, and payment is made directly by the United States Government, the state of Mississippi and its departments, institutions, counties and municipalities or departments or school districts of its counties and municipalities are exempt from sales tax.

Sales tax exemption certificates enable a purchaser to make tax-free purchases that would normally be subject to sales tax. The purchaser fills out the certificate and gives it to the seller. The seller keeps the certificate and may then sell property or services to the purchaser without charging sales tax.

Since the Mississippi Department of Revenue doesn't provide resale certificates, a vendor who regularly works with resellers might put together a form that serves the same purposes. Essentially, you'll have a form to collect the buyer's name, address, and permit number.
