Sales tax; exempt retail sales to honorably discharged veterans with service-connected, total disabilities.

SB 2990 would exempt retail purchases by honorably discharged veterans with service-connected total disabilities from Mississippi's state sales tax. To qualify, veterans must provide documentation of their exempt status from the Mississippi Department of Revenue. This exemption would add this group to the existing list of tax-exempt categories under Mississippi's sales tax law, similar to exemptions for hospitals and schools. The bill would remove the sales tax burden for eligible veterans on all qualifying retail transactions.
