Gov. Reeves Signs Historic Legislation Eliminating Mississippi's Individual Income Tax
JACKSON, Miss. - Governor Tate Reeves today signed historic legislation that eliminates the individual income tax in Mississippi. House Bill 1, or the "Build Up Mississippi Act," empowers the state workforce by not taxing their hard-earned wages and gives Mississippi another competitive advantage when competing for new economic development projects and private capital investment.
"I am proud to sign into law a complete elimination of the individual income tax in the state of Mississippi," said Governor Tate Reeves. "Let me say that again: Mississippi will no longer tax the work, the earnings, or the ambition of its people. The legislation I'm signing today puts us in a rare class of elite, competitive states. There are only a handful of states in the country that do not tax income. Today, Mississippi joins their ranks - and in doing so, we plant our flag."
House Bill 1 builds upon House Bill 531, which was the biggest tax cut in Mississippi history at that time. House Bill 531 was signed into law by Governor Reeves in 2022 and returned half a billion dollars to taxpayers. The new legislation, House Bill 1, cuts the individual income tax rate to 3% by calendar year 2030, with future annual decreases until it ultimately falls to 0%. Additionally, the legislation signed by Governor Reeves decreases the tax on grocery sales from 7% to 5%.
By signing this legislation, Governor Reeves delivers on his promise to eliminate Mississippi's individual income tax once and for all.
"This is more than a policy victory," said Governor Reeves. "This is a transformation. And it's a transformation that I have believed in, fought for, and worked toward for many years. From my days as lieutenant governor to my first campaign for this office - and every legislative session since - I have made this my mission. Because I believe in a simple idea: that government should take less so that you can keep more. That our people should be rewarded for hard work, not punished. And that Mississippi has the potential to be a magnet for opportunity, for investment, for talent - and for families looking to build a better life."
Governor Reeves spoke directly to Mississippians during the press conference. Governor Reeves said: "The work of your hands belongs to you. It is yours - to feed your family and invest in your home and your community. Because that's what this is ultimately about. Not just numbers on a balance sheet, but lives. Generations from now, when our kids are raising families of their own in a stronger, more prosperous Mississippi, they will look back on this moment and say: this is when we took our shot. To the people of Mississippi: you are the real winners today."
Governor Reeves thanked legislators, including Speaker Jason White and Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann, for their efforts on this legislation and for being good partners in the process.
House Bill 1 is yet another major victory for the state of Mississippi during the Reeves administration. This includes record levels of new private sector investment, the largest economic development projects in Mississippi history, and nation-leading education gains.
Governor Reeves signed House Bill 1 during a signing ceremony at the Mississippi Governor's Mansion.

Governor Tate Reeves @tatereeves - We did it, Mississippi! We just eliminated the income tax!
Today is a day that will be remembered - not just for the headlines, not just for the politics, but for the profound, generational change it represents.
Today, I was proud to sign into law a complete elimination of the individual income tax in the state of Mississippi. Let me say that again: Mississippi will no longer tax the work, the earnings, or the ambition of its people.
This is more than a policy victory. This is a transformation. And it's a transformation that I have believed in, fought for, and worked toward for many years. From my days as lieutenant governor to my first campaign for this office - and every legislative session since - I have made this my mission.
Because I believe in a simple idea: that government should take less so that you can keep more. That our people should be rewarded for hard work, not punished. And that Mississippi has the potential to be a magnet for opportunity, for investment, for talent - and for families looking to build a better life.
The legislation I signed puts us in a rare class of elite, competitive states. There are only a handful of states in the country that do not tax income. Today, Mississippi joins their ranks - and in doing so, we plant our flag.
We are saying to job creators across America: if you want to build, come to Mississippi.
We are saying to families across the South: if you want to grow, come to Mississippi.
We are saying to entrepreneurs, to workers, to dreamers: Mississippi is open for business - and we won't penalize your success.
We are going to compete - and we're going to win.
Now, I want to be clear: this didn't happen overnight. And it didn't happen alone. This day is the result of years of work by dedicated leaders who shared the vision and had the courage to act.
I want to thank Speaker Jason White and Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann. I want to give special thanks to Speaker White because he worked his tail off to get this done. I also want to thank House Ways and Means Chairman Trey Lamar and all the members of the House and Senate who rolled up their sleeves and got this done. We debated. We negotiated. We stayed focused on the goal. And we got it across the finish line - together.
To the people of Mississippi: you are the real winners today. This law means more money in your pocket. It means more jobs in your town. It means a future with more opportunity for your children and grandchildren.
The work of your hands belongs to you. It is yours - to feed your family and invest in your home and your community.
Because that's what this is ultimately about. Not just numbers on a balance sheet, but lives. Generations from now, when our kids are raising families of their own in a stronger, more prosperous Mississippi, they will look back on this moment and say: this is when we took our shot.
This is when we bet on ourselves. This is when we really broke from the pack. This is when we took bold action - and it paid off.
There are moments in a state's history that mark a turning point. A moment where the past gives way to the future. Where we rise above the old ways of doing things - and chart a bold new course... this is one of those moments.
The elimination of the income tax is not just a win for our economy. It's a win for freedom. A win for families. A win for the idea that Mississippi can lead - that we will lead - in the century to come.
And I believe with all my heart that we will look back on this day as a turning point, a generational victory, and a proud legacy we leave for those who come after us.

UPDATE: Na Leo TV's management declines to comment on FBI search
The assistant general manager and marketing director of Na Leo 'O Hawaii public access television said in a statement this afternoon "Na Leo TV staff and management are fully cooperating" with a search warrant executed on its Hilo studios and offices.
"We have no further comment or information at this time," Micah Alameda said in the statement.
In the statement, Alameda said the Puna candidates forum scheduled for 6:30 p.m. - featuring mayoral candidates Mitch Roth and Ikaika Marzo and the candidates for Hawaii County Council District 5, incumbent Matt Kanealii-Kleinfelder and challenger Ikaika Rodenhurst - has been cancelled.
"We are working with the Mainstreet Pahoa Association to reschedule this broadcast," Alameda said.
Phone calls and emails by the Tribune-Herald to Alameda and Stacy Higa, president and CEO of Na Leo, have not been returned.
Lt. Rio Amon-Wilkins of the Hawaii Police Department's Hilo Criminal Investigations Section said county police had not been notified of the federal raid.
"The case is ongoing. We're not going to give out any details other than confirming it is us," said Jason White, a special agent at the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Honolulu office.
The president and CEO of Na Leo is Stacy Higa, a former Hawaii County councilman who finished fifth in a crowded mayoral primary election race in August.
Asked if the search had anything to do with federal funding or if anyone was arrested, White said it's "just a search" of Na Leo's location at 91 Mohouli St. and declined to say what agents are searching for.
