35 Miss. Code R. § 3-07-01-101

Current through June 25, 2024
Section 35-3-07-01-101

Domicile is the place where an individual lives and has his permanent home and principal establishment, and to which he has the intention of returning whenever he is absent. Actual residence may or may not necessarily mean domicile, for domicile is the fixed place of abode which in the intention of the taxpayer is permanent rather than transitory. It is the place in which an individual has voluntarily fixed the habitation of himself and his family, not for a special or limited purpose, but with the present intention of making a permanent home, until some unexpected event shall occur to induce him to adopt some other permanent home. A domicile once established continues until a new domicile is established through the intent and purpose of establishing, and the actual establishment, of a new domicile coupled with the abandonment of the old. Every person has one and only one domicile. What constitutes domicile is a question of fact rather than of law, frequently depending on a variety of circumstances. The Commissioner may require of an individual claiming domicile outside the State of Mississippi a statement of information with respect to the particular case.
