John Fletcher, a partner in the Tax Practice Group in the Jackson office, was quoted in the Law360 article “Miss. House Passes Retooled Income Tax Elimination Bill.” John explains that the revised income tax bill would still increase the current tax rate for specific industries and that the lower rate would only apply to certain purchases. He also mentions that the Mississippi business community had some significant concerns about the proposed tax hikes in the original bill because manufacturing, farming, and timber industries make up a large segment of the state economy.
