Mississippi Code
Article 1 - General Provisions
§ 27-59-35. Refunds

If a motor vehicle on which the annual privilege tax or portion thereof has been paid is damaged to the extent it cannot be used or the compressed gas carburetion equipment has been removed from such motor vehicle, the owner or operator may obtain a refund of the unexpired portion of the tax. Such refund shall be prorated from the first day of the month succeeding the month in which the motor vehicle was damaged to the extent it cannot be used or the compressed gas equipment was removed. In order to obtain such refund the claimant shall prove to the satisfaction of the commission that the motor vehicle was damaged to the extent it cannot be used or the compressed gas carburetion equipment was removed.
When a motor vehicle that uses or is capable of using compressed gas is sold or traded, the decal may be transferred to the new owner or the former owner may remove it, return it to the commission and file a claim for a refund on the unexpired portion.
If a claim for refund is approved, the amount thereof shall be refunded as provided in Section 27-55-19.
