Mississippi taxes through the Mississippi Department of Revenue at a 7% statewide base rate, with local rates stacking on top and economic nexus for remote sellers at $250,000 in sales. Filing runs monthly or quarterly by liability. For salons, spas & barbershops, that combination is what decides how much of your month-end is bookkeeping and how much is compliance.
Employer registration runs through the Mississippi Department of Employment Security, and the entity is registered with the Mississippi Secretary of State. High state rate with very little local layering, and a higher threshold than most states.

Are your services taxable in Mississippi?
Whether salons, spas & barbershops services are taxable in Mississippi is the question that catches people out — states differ enormously, and several have been broadening what counts. High state rate with very little local layering, and a higher threshold than most states. We code service revenue separately from any product revenue so the treatment is explicit rather than assumed.
Mississippi rates and sourcing
The Mississippi statewide base rate is 7%. Local rates stack on top and are generally sourced to the delivery address, so the effective rate varies within the state. Getting sourcing right is what keeps the liability account matching what you actually collected.
Payroll and employer registration in Mississippi
Employer registration in Mississippi runs through the Mississippi Department of Employment Security, a different agency from the Mississippi Department of Revenue that handles your sales tax — a separate account number, a separate login, and separate deadlines. Businesses routinely register for one and forget the other, then discover the gap when a notice arrives.
Filing cadence in Mississippi
Mississippi assigns filing frequency by liability — monthly or quarterly by liability. Mississippi does not offer an annual bracket, so even low-volume sellers file at least quarterly and the account has to stay current year-round.
