JACKSON, Miss. (AP) Mississippi tax collections increased during the state budget year that ended June 30, driven in part by people shopping online during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the state Department of Revenue released figures Tuesday.
They said the state collected nearly 16% more in taxes than the year before. That is an increase of more than $924 million.
Tax collections took a hit during the final months of the budget year that ended June 30, 2020, because of uncertainty caused by the beginning of the pandemic.
