Mississippi Franchise Tax Information

Entities taxed as Corporations pay franchise tax annually for the privilege of doing business in the State of Mississippi. The franchise tax is a component of the corporate income and franchise tax return, so it is typically filed by an accountant.

Mississippi has an FAQ on the subject on the Department of Revenue's website.

When is it due?

Corporation income and franchise tax return is due on or before the 15th day of the 4th month following the close of the taxable year.

How is Mississippi Franchise Tax calculated?
