Mississippi cut its grocery sales tax from 7% to 5% in July 2025, but the test for which items qualify is SNAP eligibility, not a simple food list, so candy and soda ring at the lower rate while a hot sandwich from the same case doesn't. The state also splits alcohol licensing by product: a convenience store's beer permit covers beer, light wine and light spirit product only, while regular wine and full-strength spirits are locked to a separate class of liquor store permit that generally can't sell beer at all. Getting either boundary wrong either shortchanges the state on tax or puts something on the shelf your permit doesn't cover.
Serving independent retailers across Jackson, Gulfport-Biloxi-Pascagoula, Southaven / DeSoto County (Memphis metro), Hattiesburg, Tupelo, Meridian and the rest of Mississippi.
These are the settings an MS store has to get right. Storeveu ships with them in place rather than leaving them for you to build.
7% flat, no county tax
Mississippi charges a single 7% rate everywhere, with no county sales tax layer at all. Jackson and Tupelo carry narrow local add-ons that push their totals to 8% and 7.25%, but every other store in the state rings a flat 7%. Storeveu applies the state rate to every store by default, with a per-store override for the Jackson and Tupelo exceptions.
5% on SNAP-eligible food, 7% on the rest
Since July 2025, groceries are taxed at 5% instead of 7%, but the dividing line is whether an item qualifies for SNAP, not whether it looks like food. Candy, soda and snacks are SNAP-eligible so they ring at 5%, while hot prepared food, tobacco, alcohol and pet food stay at 7%. Storeveu's per-department tax rules carry that SNAP flag down to the item level so both rates apply automatically on the same receipt, and drop to zero when the item is actually paid for with EBT.
6% retailer commission
The Mississippi Lottery Corporation pays retailers a 6% commission on ticket sales. Storeveu tracks lottery books through inventory, active, depleted and settled, with an end-of-shift ticket scan that works out how many tickets sold so the commission on your report reconciles against the Lottery's own settlement.
Beer permit or liquor permit, never both
A convenience store's beer permit covers beer, light wine up to 5% and light spirit product up to 6%, sold off premises. Regular wine and full-strength spirits are locked to a separate ABC package retailer's permit that generally can't sell beer at all, so the two store types stock mutually exclusive product sets. Storeveu enables only the categories your permit actually covers, and applies the 21 age prompt across alcohol and tobacco alike.

Mississippi taxes groceries at 5% only if the item is eligible to be purchased with SNAP benefits, and that test is broader than most people expect: candy, soda and snacks are SNAP-eligible and ring at 5%, while paper goods, pet food, tobacco and anything hot from your food case stay at the full 7%. If the item is actually purchased with SNAP benefits it drops to 0% no matter which bucket it's in. The state also wants the two rates reported separately, groceries under one rate code and everything else under another. Storeveu flags each item by SNAP eligibility once, then applies the right rate for the tender used automatically.
No. A convenience or grocery store in Mississippi holds a beer permit, which covers beer, light wine up to 5% by weight and light spirit product up to 6% by weight, and nothing above that. Regular wine and full-strength spirits can only be sold under a package retailer's permit, a dedicated liquor store license that generally cannot sell beer in return. Bills to let grocery stores carry wine have been introduced repeatedly and have not passed. Storeveu sets up your register with only the product categories your permit type actually allows, so a beer-permit store never has a wine department to accidentally activate.
No. Mississippi has no beverage container deposit law, so there is no deposit to collect, no redemption to process and no per-container fee to track. State law also blocks cities and counties from creating their own container or bag fee, so that stays off the register everywhere in the state. Storeveu ships with deposit and CRV handling switched off for Mississippi stores by default.
Storeveu applies the Mississippi Lottery Corporation's 6% retailer commission on ticket sales. Lottery books are tracked through their full lifecycle, inventory, active, depleted and settled, with an end-of-shift ticket scan that works out how many tickets sold between the start and end numbers. That count feeds the commission calculation so your shift report reconciles against the Lottery's own settlement.
