The bill introduces a new state income tax deduction for contributions made by taxpayers to public school districts.

  • 27-7-18

    Contributions made by a taxpayer to a Mississippi public school district are deductible from gross income. Such contributions may be designated by a taxpayer for specific use by a school district. The deduction authorized in this subsection shall be equal to the amount of such contributions made during a taxable year; however, the aggregate amount of deductions claimed by a taxpayer under this subsection for a taxable year shall not exceed the taxpayer's total taxable income for the taxable year.

    This change allows taxpayers to deduct contributions to public schools from their taxable income, promoting donations to these institutions.

  • 37-7-301

    To conform to the provisions of this act.

    This change aligns the powers and duties of school boards with the new tax deduction provisions established for public school contributions.
