Local taxes that show up in Olive Branch books
These come from the state revenue department's published list, checked November 9, 2026. They're added on top of the state sales tax rate.
| Levy | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Olive Branch Tourism, Parks and Recreation Tax | 1% on overnight hotel and motel room rentals inside the city limits. In effect since October 1, 2022, and currently set to repeal July 1, 2029. |
| DeSoto County Convention Tourist Promotion Tax | 2% on restaurants, hotels, and motels, with an exemption for restaurants that don't sell alcohol and had under $100,000 in prior-year sales. |
Separate rate codes for each levy
When the Olive Branch tax started, the Mississippi DOR told hotels to report the 7% state tax under rate code 74, the 2% DeSoto County tax under rate code 88, and the city's 1% under rate code 89. That's three lines on one return, so the books need three separate liability accounts to match.
Watch the repeal date
The city's 1% levy is currently set to end July 1, 2029. Local levies are often extended, so we check the DOR's list when rates change rather than assuming.
