Section 35-4-01-06-100 - Credit for tax paid to another state

An individual, who imports property into Mississippi, is entitled to a tax credit for taxes paid to another state at either the state or local level or both. The tax credit is the smaller of either the amount of Mississippi use tax due or the total amount of tax properly paid in another state. For sales tax to be properly paid to another state, the situs of the sale must be that state, and for use tax to be properly paid, first use must occur in that state. Also, any sales or use tax claimed as a credit must have been levied by a state or local taxing authority. The individual must provide an invoice or other evidence that clearly and correctly shows the amount of tax as a separate item to support the credit for taxes paid to another state.
