How Mississippi nexus works
Mississippi sales and use tax nexus threshold: out-of-state businesses with Mississippi sales exceeding $250,000 over any twelve-month period are considered to have substantial economic presence effective July 1, 2018 and must register, collect, and remit tax. Mississippi uses a sales-only threshold — no transaction-count test. Remote sellers should measure sales on a rolling twelve-month basis rather than the current-or-prior-calendar-year framing used by many other states.
Filing frequency
Filing frequency in Mississippi depends on your sales tax liability. Higher-volume sellers file monthly; lower-volume sellers typically file quarterly or annually. The state will assign a frequency when you register.
Marketplace facilitator law
Yes, Mississippi has a marketplace facilitator law. Sales you make through Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Walmart, and other marketplaces are collected and remitted by the marketplace — you do not need to collect tax on those transactions yourself, though you may still need to register.
