Filing
Mississippi’s contractor’s tax lets a prime contractor on a non-residential commercial project file a bond guaranteeing that contract’s sales, use, income, franchise, withholding, and special-fuel taxes, instead of prepaying the tax before work begins. This per-job version (Department of Revenue Form 72-441) is executed for a single contract and held with the Department of Revenue until that contract’s state taxes are paid in full. The Department directs that no dollar limitation appear on the face of the job bond, so it is listed and the exact amount is confirmed when you apply. Authority: Miss. Code §27-65-21.
