Miss. Code Ann. § 27-7-337

All taxes due under the provisions of this article shall be paid, on or before the date fixed by law for filing returns. Any such taxes may be paid with uncertified check during such time and under such regulations the commissioner shall prescribe, but, if a check received in payment of such taxes is not paid by the bank on which it is drawn, the taxpayer by whom such check is tendered shall remain liable for the payment of the tax and for all legal penalties, the same as if such check had not been tendered.
