Running a website from Edwards: the Mississippi rules

Some homework before launch:

• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
• Mississippi’s regular retail sales tax rate is 7%. Groceries dropped to 5% on July 1, 2025. Local add-ons exist only at the city level: Tupelo adds 0.25% and Jackson adds 1% on certain sales. A sales tax permit from the Department of Revenue is required before doing business, one per location. Mississippi Department of Revenue
