The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy lists Mississippi’s taxes as 21st for “most unfair” or regressive, with people’s incomes less equal after state and local taxation. This is largely because of the state’s reliance on sales taxes and it being one of only two states that levies its full sales tax on groceries with no exemptions, credits or reductions.
