If the commissioner has cause to believe and believes that the collection of taxes due by any taxpayer will be jeopardized by delay, he may assess such taxes immediately, together with damages and interest, and may immediately file with the circuit clerk a notice of tax lien for sales taxes, damages, and interest and issue a jeopardy warrant under official seal directed to the sheriff of any county of this state or to a special agent of the tax commission.

The circuit clerk shall proceed as provided in Section 27-65-57 upon receiving a copy of the notice of tax lien from the commissioner. Any tax determined to be due under a jeopardy assessment shall be a debt due to the state, and, when thus enrolled upon the judgment roll of the county, shall be the equivalent of any enrolled judgment of a court of record, and shall constitute a lien on all property and rights to property of the judgment debtor. The sheriff, or the special agent, as the case may be, upon receipt of the jeopardy warrant, shall immediately proceed in accordance with Section 27-65-63 . However, where property has been seized under authority of a jeopardy warrant, the taxpayer may file a petition for a hearing and revision of the assessment with the commissioner at any time prior to the date of the sale, provided such taxpayer executes a supersedeas surety bond in a surety company authorized to do business and doing business in this state for double the amount of the assessment. Such bond shall be conditioned that any taxes, damages, interest and costs adjudged to be due after the hearing will be paid promptly upon order of the state tax commission.

(1) Any person who engages, or who intends to engage, in any business or activity which will subject such person to a privilege tax imposed by this chapter, or which falls within the scope of Section 31-3-16 or Section 73-59-18 , shall apply to the commissioner for a permit to engage in and to conduct any business or activity upon the condition that he shall pay the tax accruing to the State of Mississippi under the provisions of this chapter, and shall keep adequate records of such business or activity as required by this chapter. By making an application for a permit issued pursuant to this section, a person agrees, regardless of his presence in this state, to:

(a) Be subject to the jurisdiction of this state for purposes of taxation;

(b) Collect and remit all taxes levied under this chapter on the type of business or activity to be conducted by the applicant;

(c) Be subject to all the provisions of this chapter.

(2) Upon receipt of the permit, the applicant shall be duly licensed under this chapter to engage in and conduct the business or activity. The permit shall continue in force so long as the person to whom it is issued shall continue in the same business at the same location, unless revoked by the commissioner for cause.

(3) The commissioner shall require of every person desiring to engage in business within this state who maintains no permanent place of business within this state, of every person desiring to engage in the business of making sales of mobile homes, a cash bond or an approved surety bond in an amount sufficient to cover twice the estimated tax liability for a period of three (3) months. However, the bond shall in no case be less than One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) and the tax may be prepaid in lieu of filing bond if the amount is approved by the commissioner. This bond shall be filed with the commissioner prior to the issuance of a permit to do business and before any such person may engage in business within this state. Failure to comply with the provision will subject such person to the penalties provided by this chapter.

(4) The commissioner is authorized to deny the application for a permit or revoke the permit of any person who has failed or is failing to comply with any of the provisions of this chapter. The commissioner may also deny the application for a permit or revoke the permit of any person who has failed to satisfy all of the finally determined tax liabilities owed by that person. If the applicant or taxpayer is an entity, the commissioner may deny the application for a permit or revoke the permit if any partner, member, principal officer or director of such entity has failed to satisfy all of the finally determined tax liabilities owed by that partner, member, principal officer or director. Any denial or revocation of an entity's permit based on a partner, member, principal officer or director's finally determined tax liability shall only be authorized if the partner, member, principal officer or director owns ten percent (10%) or more of the entity and is or will be exercising responsibility for fiscal management. In lieu of denying or revoking an entity's permit, the commissioner may accept an increased or additional bond from the entity to cover the additional risk involved with having an individual with a finally determined tax liability involved. As used in this subsection, “ finally determined tax liabilities ” means any state tax, fee, penalty and/or interest owed by a person to the Department of Revenue where the assessment of the liability has been made against that person as provided by law and such assessment is not subject to any further timely filed administrative or judicial review. Revocation of such permit, or engaging or continuing in business after such permit is revoked or engaging in business without a permit, shall subject the person to all the penalties imposed by this chapter.

(5) Any person liable for the tax who fails to obtain a permit from the commissioner, or who continues in business after such permit has been revoked, or who fails to make his returns for taxation as provided, or who fails to keep adequate records and invoices provided by this chapter, or who fails or refuses to permit inspection of such records, or who fails to pay any taxes due hereunder, shall forfeit his rights to do business in this state until he complies with all the provisions of this chapter and until he enters into a bond, with sureties, to be approved by the commissioner, in an amount not to exceed twice the amount of all taxes estimated to become due under this chapter by the person for any period of three (3) months, conditioned to comply with the provisions of this chapter, and pay all taxes legally due by him.

(6) If any person is engaged in or continuing in this state in any business or activity without obtaining a permit, or after the permit has been revoked, or without filing a required bond, or without keeping and allowing inspection of all records required by this chapter, or without making a return, or returns, and without paying all taxes due by him hereunder, it shall be the duty of the commissioner to proceed by injunction to prevent the continuance of the business. Any temporary injunction enjoining the continuance of the business shall be granted without notice by a judge or chancellor now authorized to grant injunctions.

That ratio shall be determined not later than December 1 in each calendar year by the State Treasurer on the basis of balance sheets of applying institutions at June 30 of the same calendar year, and an institution shall not be a member of the public funds guaranty pool unless its ratio has been certified annually by the Treasurer as meeting the prescribed requirement. Each applicant shall furnish to the State Treasurer such financial statements, balance sheets or other documentation, sworn to by a duly elected officer, on such date or dates and on such forms as the State Treasurer may require. Any knowing or willful misstatement of fact on those forms shall subject the officer swearing to them to the penalty of perjury and the financial institution of which he is an officer shall not be eligible to serve as a depository for a period of one (1) year beginning with the date on which the State Treasurer certifies that such a misstatement has been made. When so approved by the State Treasurer, the institution shall meet its security requirement of one hundred five percent (105%) by placing on deposit with the State Treasurer qualified bonds, notes and liquid securities in an aggregate amount at least equal to fifty-two and one-half percent (52- 1 / 2 %) of the average daily balance of funds on deposit in the aggregate by the State of Mississippi or any agency or department of the state or by any county, municipality or other governmental unit in excess of that portion of accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any successor thereto, and executing a guarantee equal to the balance of fifty-two and one-half percent (52- 1 / 2 %) of the average daily balance of funds on deposit in the aggregate by the State of Mississippi or any agency or department of the state or by any county, municipality or other governmental unit in excess of that portion of accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any successor thereto.

3. In the case of a bundled transaction that includes telecommunications services, ancillary services, internet access, audio or video programming services subject to tax under this chapter in which the price is attributable to properties or services that are subject to the tax but the tax revenue from the different properties or services are dedicated to different funds or purposes, the provider shall allocate the price among the properties or services:

a. By reasonably identifying the portion of the price attributable to each of the properties and services from its books and records kept in the regular course of business; or

b. Based on a reasonable allocation methodology approved by the department.

4. This subparagraph (vii) shall not create a right of action for a customer to require that the provider or the department, for purposes of determining the amount of tax applicable to a bundled transaction, allocate the price to the different portions of the transaction in order to minimize the amount of tax charged to the customer. A customer shall not be entitled to rely on the fact that a portion of the price is attributable to properties or services not subject to tax unless the provider elects, after receiving a written request from the customer in the form required by the provider, to provide verifiable data based upon the provider's books and records that are kept in the regular course of business that reasonably identifies the portion of the price attributable to the properties or services not subject to the tax.

(2) Persons making sales to consumers of electricity, current, power, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas or other fuel for residential heating, lighting or other residential noncommercial or nonagricultural use or sales of potable water for residential, noncommercial or nonagricultural use shall indicate on each statement rendered to customers that such charges are exempt from sales taxes.

(3) There is hereby levied, assessed and shall be paid on transportation charges on shipments moving between points within this state when paid directly by the consumer, a tax equal to the rate applicable to the sale of the property being transported. Such tax shall be reported and paid directly to the Department of Revenue by the consumer.
