Industrial Incentives & Benefits

Walthall County has a non-union workforce and Mississippi has a Right-to-Work law that is Constitutionally protected, in which workers may not be denied employment based on their membership or lack of membership in a union. 
  • Free Port Warehouse Property Tax Exemption A full exemption from property taxes may be granted by local governing authorities on personal property that is being held and stored prior to transport to a final destination outside the state. The exemption may be granted for all local property taxes and may be granted for any period of time set by the local governing authority.
  • Industrial Property Tax Exemption An exemption from property taxes is available to eligible industries that locate or expand in the state. This 10-year exemption from property taxes may be granted by local governing authorities on real and tangible personal property being used in the state. The exemption may be granted for all local property taxes except school district taxes on any property, but may not be granted on finished goods or rolling stock.
  • Jobs Tax Credit Jobs tax credits are credits that can be applied to state income tax to reduce an employer’s income tax liability. These credits are earned by certain types of businesses that create and sustain new jobs in Mississippi.
  • Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit Existing manufacturers that have operated in Mississippi for two or more years may be eligible for investment tax credits that can be applied to the entity’s state income tax liability. To qualify, an existing manufacturer must invest $1,000,000 or more in buildings and/or equipment used in the manufacturing operation. The investment credit is calculated as 5% of the eligible investment for a project.

  • National or Regional Headquarters Tax Credit National or Regional Headquarters Tax Credits are credits equal to between $500 and $2,000 per position that can be applied to state income tax to reduce an eligible entity’s corporate income tax liability.

These credits are also awarded to companies that already have headquarters in Mississippi and create additional jobs at their headquarters operations in the state.
  • National or Regional Headquarters Sales Tax Exemption A sales and use tax exemption is available for eligible businesses that create their national or regional headquarters in Mississippi, transfer their headquarters to the state or grow their existing headquarters operations in the state.

  • Research and Development Skills Tax Credit Research and Development Skills Tax Credits are credits equal to $1,000 per employee per year for a five year period and can be used to reduce an eligible entity’s income tax liability. These credits are available for any position requiring research or development skills.
