Just closed a big one in Jackson. Furniture manufacturer was paying 7% Mississippi sales tax on electricity for 4 years. Filed Form 73-100 under Miss. Code 27-65-19(1)(g). Entergy processed the refund for $127,400!

Mississippi manufacturing exemption success - Entergy refund
Outstanding result! How long did Entergy take to process the refund? Working on similar case in Kentucky.
About 6 weeks from filing to check. Had to provide some additional documentation about manufacturing processes but Entergy was cooperative throughout.
Thanks! That gives me a timeline to set with my client. Mississippi seems more straightforward than some states.
Exemption wins like this are satisfying because they're recurring savings, not just a one-time refund. The key is documenting the qualifying use precisely enough that it survives an audit by the utility or the state.
Congrats on the result. I'd only add that exemption eligibility needs re-checking whenever the client's operations change — a use that qualified at filing can drift out of compliance without anyone noticing.
