The Square is one of Oxford's distinctive business communities. The historic Courthouse Square dining, retail, and small-business core. Whether you run a storefront, a service company, or a home-based venture here, Tides Bookkeeping keeps your books accurate, categorized, and ready for tax season - without you ever leaving The Square.
As part of the greater Oxford, MS economy within Lafayette County, The Square businesses share the same Mississippi tax and compliance landscape as the rest of the area. Our remote-first process means you get a dedicated bookkeeper and clean monthly financials no matter where in Oxford you are located - reconciled accounts, categorized transactions, and monthly profit-and-loss and balance-sheet reporting you can actually use.
Mississippi's tax story is the mirror image of most states: it charges a high 7% state sales tax - one of the highest state rates in the country - but, unlike almost everywhere else, adds virtually no local sales tax, so nearly every sale statewide is a flat 7% (grocery food is taxed at a reduced 5%). Only Jackson (1% infrastructure) and Tupelo (0.25%) add a local rate. Meanwhile the income tax is a flat 4% and, under the Build Up Mississippi Act, is legislated to keep falling toward full elimination. Charging the right rate and tracking the income-tax phase-down is exactly what we keep clean.
