Extended Mississippi sales tax holiday to take place in mid-July – SuperTalk Mississippi

Mississippi’s sales tax holiday is just around the corner.

Gov. Tate Reeves announced on Wednesday that the annual weekend where shoppers can buy goods without the pesky 7% tax tacked onto the bill will be held from Friday, July 12 through Sunday, June 14.

Senate Bill 2470, authored by Republican Walter Michel of Ridgeland, moved the annual holiday from the final weekend of July to the second weekend of the month. The legislation, which received unanimous support from both chambers in the capitol, also extended the holiday period for an extra day.

“We extended the holiday by an extra day so y’all can enjoy even more tax-free shopping in Mississippi,” Reeves wrote on X.

According to the Mississippi Department of Revenue, a sales tax holiday is a temporary period when sales taxes are not collected or paid on purchases of specific products and services. Sales tax is not due during the holiday on clothing, footwear, or school supplies if the sales price of a single item is less than $100.

The same applies to items that are purchased online — as long as they are ordered within the tax-free weekend period and the cost is under $100.

Mississippi moved the annual event back to the middle of the summer to accommodate parents buying school supplies for children in districts with modified calendars.

A full list of items being sold free of sales taxes can be found here.

4-star Kennedy Green commits to Mississippi State football again in 2027 class

STARKVILLE — Four-star safety Kennedy Green recommitted to Mississippi State football on July 11.

The Douglasville, Georgia, native chose the Bulldogs over offers from South Carolina, North Carolina, Nebraska, Auburn and more. He originally committed to MSU in November 2024 but backed off his commitment in June 2025.

He is ranked No. 373 nationally by the 247Sports Composite and as the No. 32 safety and No. 40 player in Georgia.

Green, who’s 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, is MSU’s fourth four-star in the 2027 recruiting class joining running backs Yoshawn Hudson and Christian Alexander and defensive lineman Jaden Bayonne.

Mississippi State’s recruiting class was ranked No. 52 nationally and last in the SEC before Green’s commitment.

Green recorded 56 tackles last season with two interceptions.

The Bulldogs have three other safeties in the class, both of whom are three-stars: Trae’kerrion Collins, Hudson Fuqua and Ke’Vontae Pitts.

Tracking Mississippi State baseball players, signees picked in 2026 MLB Draft

STARKVILLE — The 2026 MLB Draft has arrived, and Mississippi State baseball is expected to have players picked.

Ace Reese, MSU’s star third baseman for the last two seasons, is a projected first-round pick. Many of the Bulldogs’ signees in the 2026 recruiting class are also draft prospects. How the draft unfolds will determine if they make it to Mississippi State next season like Jack Bauer and Jacob Parker did.

The draft begins July 11 (noon, NBC/Peacock) in Philadelphia with Rounds 1-4. Rounds 5-20 are on July 12 (10:30 a.m., MLB.com).

The Clarion Ledger is keeping track of all the Mississippi State draft picks, including signees and transfers.
