LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholders:
Despite the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union and policy uncertainty accompanying the new presidential administration in the United States, most markets have proved resilient. U.S. share prices have reached new highs and U.S. bond yields rose on hopes surrounding President Trump’s proposed fiscal policies and indications that the U.S. Federal Reserve could hike rates more aggressively. However, interest rates in most developed markets remain very low, with central banks maintaining accommodative monetary policies to reinvigorate slow-growing economies.
Globally, economic growth has shown signs of recovery of late, led by China, the United States and the eurozone. Despite better growth, there are few immediate signs of worrisome inflation. Emerging market economies are recovering at a somewhat slower pace amid fears that restrictive U.S. trade policies could further hamper the already-slow pace of global trade growth. Looking ahead, markets will have to contend with a series of European elections during 2017, which, depending on the outcome, could further call into question the future direction of the European Union.
At MFS®, we believe in a patient, long-term approach to investing. Viewing investments with a long lens makes it possible to filter out short-term market noise and focus on achieving solid risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle.
In our view, such an approach, along with the professional guidance of a financial advisor, will help you reach your investment objectives.
Respectfully,
Robert J. Manning
Executive Chairman
MFS Investment Management
May 16, 2017

| (a) | For all securities other than those specifically described below, ratings are assigned to underlying securities utilizing ratings from Moody’s, Fitch, and Standard & Poor’s rating agencies and applying the following hierarchy: If all three agencies provide a rating, the middle rating (after dropping the highest and lowest ratings) is assigned; if two of the three agencies rate a security, the lower of the two is assigned. Ratings are shown in the S&P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). Securities rated BBB or higher are considered investment grade. All ratings are subject to change. Not Rated includes fixed income securities, including fixed income futures contracts, which have not been rated by any rating agency. The fund may or may not have held all of these instruments on this date. The fund is not rated by these agencies. |
| (d) | Duration is a measure of how much a bond’s price is likely to fluctuate with general changes in interest rates, e.g., if rates rise 1.00%, a bond with a 5-year duration is likely to lose about 5.00% of its value due to the interest rate move. |
| (i) | For purposes of this presentation, the components include the value of securities, and reflect the impact of the equivalent exposure of derivative positions, if any. These amounts may be negative from time to time. Equivalent exposure is a calculated amount that translates the derivative position into a reasonable approximation of the amount of the underlying asset that the portfolio would have to hold at a given point in time to have the same price sensitivity that results from the portfolio’s ownership of the derivative contract. When dealing with derivatives, equivalent exposure is a more representative measure of the potential impact of a position on portfolio performance than value. The bond component will include any accrued interest amounts. |
| (m) | In determining an instrument’s effective maturity for purposes of calculating the fund’s dollar-weighted average effective maturity, MFS uses the instrument’s stated maturity or, if applicable, an earlier date on which MFS believes it is probable that a maturity-shortening device (such as a put, pre-refunding or prepayment) will cause the instrument to be repaid. Such an earlier date can be substantially shorter than the instrument’s stated maturity. |
Where the fund holds convertible bonds, these are treated as part of the equity portion of the portfolio.
Cash & Cash Equivalents includes any cash, investments in money market funds, short-term securities, and other assets less liabilities. Please see the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for additional information related to the fund’s cash position and other assets and liabilities.
Percentages are based on net assets as of 3/31/17.

Summary of Results
For the twelve months ended March 31, 2017, Class A shares, at net asset value, for each of the municipal bond funds of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and Massachusetts underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (formerly “Barclays Municipal Bond Index”) while the municipal bond funds of California and Maryland outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index over the same period. The performance for the individual funds and the benchmark are set forth in the Performance Summary.
Market Environment
Global growth improved during much of the reporting period as oil prices recovered from their earlier plunge and fiscal and monetary stimulus from China took hold. Market confidence increased after the US elections in November in anticipation of lower taxes, a lighter regulatory burden and increased infrastructure spending, boosting US equities and bond yields. The US Federal Reserve (“Fed”) increased interest rates by 25 basis points at the end of the period, bringing the total number of quarter-percent hikes in the federal funds rate to three since December 2015. Globally, however, central bank policy remained highly accommodative, which forced many government, and even some corporate, bond yields into negative territory during the period. During the first half of the period, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union (“EU”), beginning a multi-year process of negotiation in order to achieve “Brexit.” While markets initially reacted to the vote with alarm, the spillover to European and emerging market (“EM”) economies was relatively short-lived, although risks of further hits to EU cohesiveness could re-emerge.
Headwinds from lower energy and commodity prices abated during the period as stabilizing oil prices helped push energy earnings higher relative to expectations. A sharp rise in the US dollar was an earnings headwind for multinationals, but has since subsided. US consumer spending held up well during the second half of the period amid a modest increase in real wages and relatively low gasoline prices. Demand for autos reached near-record territory, while the housing market continued its recovery. Global trade, which was sluggish early in the period, showed signs of improvement in the period’s second half and EM countries began to show signs of a modest upturn in activity along with adjustment in their external accounts. These improved conditions appeared to have reassured investors and contributed to record inflows into the asset class during July and August as negative yields for an increasing share of developed market bonds drove yield-hungry investors further out on the risk spectrum. Similar investor inflows were experienced in the investment grade and high yield corporate markets. Late in the reporting period, however, new challenges emerged for emerging markets debt as a result of the US presidential election, which raised concerns about the potential for a protectionist turn in US trade policy which could negatively impact EM economies. These concerns, along with rising expectations for US growth, inflation and interest rates, have turned the tables on flows into emerging markets debt. Since the election, flows have reversed. As of the end of the period, the markets seemed to be in “wait-and-see” mode, looking for evidence to either confirm or refute the repricing of risk that has occurred since Election Day.
US Treasury yields rose during the reporting period, with most of the increase in yields occurring during the latter half of the reporting period. According to data from the Fed, 10-year US Treasury yields started the reporting period at 1.79%, fell to as low as 1.38% in the wake of the Brexit vote in June 2016, and finished the reporting period at 2.42%. A significant portion of the increase in yields occurred in the wake of the results of the US presidential election, as President-elect Donald Trump and Republicans, who remained in control of both houses of Congress, discussed the prospects for greater-than-expected fiscal stimulus. The prospects for fiscal stimulus raised the possibility of stronger growth and higher inflation in the near-to-medium-term, which pushed Treasury yields higher.
The municipal bond market also saw an increase in yields post-election, with the market underperforming Treasuries for a while, as flows into the asset class reversed, before recovering due to increased demand for higher-quality municipal securities from non-traditional municipal investors, also called crossover buyers.
Amid the volatile yield environment, total returns for the broader US investment grade municipal bond market were essentially flat, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, however mid-quality investment grade and below-investment grade municipal bonds performed a bit better than the highest-quality portion of the market. Yet, municipal bonds broadly lagged taxable bonds amid a strong recovery in credit spreads in areas such as investment grade and high yield corporate debt during the first-half of the reporting period, and resilient spreads in the second-half of the period.
Municipal market performance was also impacted by higher-than-average increased issuance, especially during the third quarter of the reporting period, coupled with reduced demand for municipal debt during the same time frame. Against this backdrop, fundamentals generally remained stable for the majority of municipal issuers, and as a result, tax-equivalent yields appeared attractive relative to overall credit quality. However, markets remain concerned about underfunded public employee pension systems and other benefits promised to public employees, and the political difficulties in enacting reform.
Factors Affecting Performance
Within the municipal bond funds of Alabama and Arkansas, weak security selection, notably within “AA” and “BBB” rated (r) securities, hindered performance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index.

Management Review – continued
A longer duration (d) stance relative to the benchmark in all funds, with the exception of the California fund, also negatively impacted relative performance as interest rates rose during the reporting period. Strong security selection within “A” rated securities in all funds with the exception of the Arkansas fund, and strong security selection within “AA” rated securities in both the Maryland and Georgia funds, benefited relative performance. Security selection within the health care sector, in the Maryland, Georgia and Alabama funds, also supported relative results. Lastly, holding strong-performing “C” rated securities aided performance across all funds.

| (d) | Duration is a measure of how much a bond’s price is likely to fluctuate with general changes in interest rates, e.g., if rates rise 1.00%, a bond with a 5-year duration is likely to lose about 5.00% of its value. |
| (r) | Bonds rated “BBB”, “Baa”, or higher are considered investment grade; bonds rated “BB”, “Ba”, or below are considered non-investment grade. The sources for bond quality ratings are Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, Inc. and are applied using the following hierarchy: If all three agencies provide a rating, the middle rating (after dropping the highest and lowest ratings) is assigned; if two of the three agencies rate a security, the lower of the two is assigned. Ratings are shown in the S&P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). For securities which are not rated by any of the three agencies, the security is considered Not Rated. |

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY THROUGH 3/31/17
The following charts illustrate a representative class of each fund’s historical performance in comparison to its benchmark(s). Performance results include the deduction of the maximum applicable sales charge and reflect the percentage change in net asset value, including reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Each fund's results have been compared to the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, a market capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of the tax-exempt bond market. However, while this index is considered the benchmark for the performance of municipal bond funds, it is comprised of municipal bonds issued within the 50 states and the District of Columbia as well as U.S. territories and possessions such as Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, while each of the funds invests a large percentage of its assets in municipal issuers of the state that is in the fund’s name. The performance of other share classes will be greater than or less than that of the class depicted below. Benchmarks are unmanaged and may not be invested in directly. Benchmark returns do not reflect sales charges, commissions or expenses. (See Notes to Performance Summary.)
Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate so your shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. The performance shown does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Benchmark Definition
Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (formerly Barclays Municipal Bond Index) – a market capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of the tax-exempt bond market.
It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Notes to Performance Summary
Average annual total return represents the average annual change in value for each share class for the periods presented. Life returns are presented where the share class has less than 10 years of performance history and represent the average annual total return from the class inception date to the stated period end date. As the fund’s share classes may have different inception dates, the life returns may represent different time periods and may not be comparable. As a result, no comparative benchmark performance information is provided for life periods.
Performance results reflect any applicable expense subsidies and waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such subsidies and waivers each fund’s performance results would be less favorable. Please see the prospectus and financial statements for complete details.
Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the financial highlights.
A portion of income may be subject to state, federal, and/or alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to a capital gains tax.
From time to time the funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements, without which performance would be lower.

Fund expenses borne by the shareholders during the period, October 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017
As a shareholder of the funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on certain purchase or redemption payments, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period October 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line for each share class in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for each share class in the tables is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

| (1) | Business and Organization |
MFS Alabama Municipal Bond Fund (Alabama Fund), MFS Arkansas Municipal Bond Fund (Arkansas Fund), MFS California Municipal Bond Fund (California Fund), MFS Georgia Municipal Bond Fund (Georgia Fund), MFS Maryland Municipal Bond Fund (Maryland Fund), and MFS Massachusetts Municipal Bond Fund (Massachusetts Fund) are each a diversified series of MFS Municipal Series Trust which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
Each fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
| (2) | Significant Accounting Policies |
General – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the date of each fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities through the date that the financial statements were issued. Each fund invests primarily in municipal instruments. The value of municipal instruments can be affected by changes in their actual or perceived credit quality. The credit quality of municipal instruments can be affected by, among other things, the financial condition of the issuer or guarantor, the issuer’s future borrowing plans and sources of revenue, the economic feasibility of the revenue bond project or general borrowing purpose, political or economic developments in the region or state where the instrument is issued and the liquidity of the security. Municipal instruments generally trade in the over-the-counter market. Municipal instruments backed by current and anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the taxation supporting the projects or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. If the Internal Revenue Service determines an issuer of a municipal instrument has not complied with the applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become taxable, the security could decline in value, and distributions made by the funds could be taxable to shareholders.
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released its Final Rule on Investment Company Reporting Modernization (the “Rule”). The Rule, which introduces two new regulatory reporting forms for investment companies – Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN – also contains amendments to Regulation S-X which impact financial statement presentation, particularly the presentation of derivative investments. Although still evaluating the impacts of the Rule, management believes that many of the Regulation S-X amendments are consistent with the funds’ current financial statement presentation and expects that each fund will be able to comply with the Rule’s Regulation S-X amendments by the August 1, 2017 compliance date.
In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) – Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”). For entities that hold callable debt securities at a premium, ASU 2017-08 requires that the premium be amortized to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 would first be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is still evaluating the potential impacts of ASU 2017-08 but believes that adoption of ASU 2017-08 will not have a material effect on each fund’s financial position or its overall results of operations.
Balance Sheet Offsetting – Each fund’s accounting policy with respect to balance sheet offsetting is that, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement does not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between each fund and the applicable counterparty. Each fund’s right to setoff may be restricted or prohibited by the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the particular jurisdiction to which a specific master netting agreement counterparty is subject. Balance sheet offsetting disclosures, to the extent applicable to each fund, have been included in each fund’s Significant Accounting Policies note under the captions for each of the fund’s in-scope financial instruments and transactions.
Investment Valuations – Debt instruments and floating rate loans, including restricted debt instruments, are generally valued at an evaluated or composite bid as provided by a third-party pricing service. Short-term instruments with a maturity at issuance of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Futures contracts are generally valued at last posted settlement price on their primary exchange as provided by a third-party pricing service. Futures contracts for which there were no trades that day for a particular position are generally valued at the closing bid quotation on their primary exchange as provided by a third-party pricing service. Open-end investment companies are generally valued at net asset value per share. Securities and other assets generally valued on the basis of information from a third-party pricing service may also be valued at a broker/dealer bid quotation. Values obtained from third-party pricing services can utilize both transaction data and market information such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data.

The Board of Trustees has delegated primary responsibility for determining or causing to be determined the value of each fund’s investments (including any fair valuation) to the adviser pursuant to valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. If the adviser determines that reliable market quotations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser in accordance with such procedures under the oversight of the Board of Trustees. Under each fund’s valuation policies and procedures, market quotations are not considered to be readily available for most types of debt instruments and floating rate loans and many types of derivatives. These investments are generally valued at fair value based on information from third-party pricing services. In addition, investments may be valued at fair value if the adviser determines that an investment’s value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded (such as foreign exchange or market) and prior to the determination of each fund’s net asset value, or after the halting of trading of a specific security where trading does not resume prior to the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded. The adviser generally relies on third-party pricing services or other information (such as the correlation with price movements of similar securities in the same or other markets; the type, cost and investment characteristics of the security; the business and financial condition of the issuer; and trading and other market data) to assist in determining whether to fair value and at what value to fair value an investment. The value of an investment for purposes of calculating each fund’s net asset value can differ depending on the source and method used to determine value. When fair valuation is used, the value of an investment used to determine each fund’s net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same investment. There can be no assurance that each fund could obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if it were to sell the investment at the same time at which each fund determines its net asset value per share.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are categorized into three broad levels. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Each fund’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. Level 1 includes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speed, and credit risk). Level 3 includes unobservable inputs, which may include the adviser’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. The following is a summary of the levels used as of March 31, 2017 in valuing each fund’s assets or liabilities:

Derivatives – The California Fund uses derivatives for different purposes, primarily to increase or decrease exposure to a particular market or segment of the market, or security, to increase or decrease interest rate exposure, or as alternatives to direct investments. Derivatives are used for hedging or non-hedging purposes. While hedging can reduce or eliminate losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains. When the funds use derivatives as an investment to increase market exposure, or for hedging purposes, gains and losses from derivative instruments may be substantially greater than the derivative’s original cost.
The derivative instruments used by the California Fund were futures contracts.
At March 31, 2017, the funds did not have any outstanding derivative instruments.
The following table presents, by major type of derivative contract, the realized gain (loss) on derivatives held by this fund for the year ended March 31, 2017 as reported in the Statements of Operations:
| Fund | Risk | Futures Contracts | ||
| California Fund | Interest Rate | $(84,316) |
There is no change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative transactions at period end.
Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. On certain, but not all, uncleared derivatives, each fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit risk whenever possible by entering into an ISDA Master Agreement on a bilateral basis. The ISDA Master Agreement gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under such agreement if there is a certain deterioration in the credit quality of the other party. Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA Master Agreement, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed under each agreement to one net amount payable by one party to the other. This right to close out and net payments across all transactions traded under the ISDA Master Agreement could result in a reduction of each fund’s credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by each fund under the applicable transactions, if any.
Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are set by the clearing broker and the clearing house for cleared derivatives (e.g., futures contracts, cleared swaps, and exchange-traded options) while collateral terms are contract specific for uncleared derivatives (e.g., forward foreign currency exchange contracts, uncleared swap agreements, and uncleared options). For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, which contains a collateral support annex, the collateral requirements are netted across all transactions traded under such agreement and one amount is posted from one party to the other to collateralize such obligations. Cash that has been segregated to cover each fund’s collateral or margin obligations under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “Restricted cash” or “Deposits with brokers.” Securities pledged as collateral or margin for the same purpose, if any, are noted in the Portfolio of Investments. The funds may be required to make payments of interest on uncovered collateral or margin obligations with the broker. Any such payments are included in “Miscellaneous” expense in the Statements of Operations.
Futures Contracts – The California Fund entered into futures contracts which may be used to hedge against or obtain broad market exposure, interest rate exposure, or to manage duration. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an initial margin in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount of the contract. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gain or loss by the fund until the contract is closed or expires at which point the gain or loss on futures contracts is realized.
The fund bears the risk of interest rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. While futures contracts may present less counterparty risk to the fund since the contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees payments to the broker, there is still counterparty credit risk due to the insolvency of the broker. The fund’s maximum risk of loss due to counterparty credit risk is equal to the margin posted by the fund to the broker plus any gains or minus any losses on the outstanding futures contracts.
Indemnifications – Under each fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to each fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business,
75
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
each fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each fund’s maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each fund that have not yet occurred.
Investment Transactions and Income – Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premium and discount is amortized or accreted for financial statement purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Interest payments received in additional securities are recorded on the ex-interest date in an amount equal to the value of the security on such date.
Each fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received from litigation involving portfolio holdings are reflected in the Statements of Operations in realized gain/loss if the security has been disposed of by the fund or in unrealized gain/loss if the security is still held by the fund. Any other proceeds from litigation not related to portfolio holdings are reflected as other income in the Statements of Operations.
Fees Paid Indirectly – Each fund’s custody fee may be reduced by a credit earned under an arrangement that measures the value of U.S. dollars deposited with the custodian by each fund. The amount of the credit, for the year ended March 31, 2017, is shown as a reduction of total expenses in the Statements of Operations.
Reimbursement of Expenses by Custodian – In December 2015, each fund’s custodian (or former custodian), State Street Bank and Trust Company, announced that it intended to reimburse its asset servicing clients for expense amounts that it billed in error during the period 1998 through 2015. The amount of this one-time reimbursement attributable to each fund is reflected as “Reimbursement of custodian expenses” in the Statements of Operations.
Tax Matters and Distributions – Each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute all of its taxable and tax-exempt income, including realized capital gains. As a result, no provision for federal income tax is required. Each fund’s federal tax returns, when filed, will remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a three year period. Management has analyzed each fund’s tax positions taken on federal and state tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Certain capital accounts in the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences in order to reflect their tax character. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or net asset value per share. Temporary differences which arise from recognizing certain items of income, expense, gain or loss in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes will reverse at some time in the future. Distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains are temporary overdistributions for financial statement purposes resulting from differences in the recognition or classification of income or distributions for financial statement and tax purposes.
Book/tax differences primarily relate to expiration of capital loss carryforwards and amortization and accretion of debt securities, as applicable to each fund.
The tax character of distributions declared to shareholders for the last two fiscal years is as follows:

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized for fund fiscal years beginning after March 31, 2011 may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses (“post-enactment losses”). Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses (“pre-enactment losses”). As a transition rule, the Act requires that all post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of March 31, 2017, each fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized gains as follows:

Multiple Classes of Shares of Beneficial Interest – Each fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. Each fund’s income and common expenses are allocated to shareholders based on the value of settled shares outstanding of each class. Each fund’s realized and unrealized gain (loss) are allocated to shareholders based on the daily net assets of each class. Dividends are declared separately for each class. Differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase. Each fund’s distributions declared to shareholders as reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are presented by class as follows:

| (6) | Line of Credit |
Each fund and certain other funds managed by MFS participate in a $1.25 billion unsecured committed line of credit, subject to a $1 billion sublimit, provided by a syndication of banks under a credit agreement. Borrowings may be made for temporary financing needs. Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, generally at a rate equal to the higher of the Overnight Federal Reserve funds rate or daily one month LIBOR plus an agreed upon spread. A commitment fee, based on the average daily, unused portion of the committed line of credit, is allocated among the participating funds at the end of each calendar quarter. In addition, each fund and other funds managed by MFS have established unsecured uncommitted borrowing arrangements with certain banks for temporary financing needs. Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the Overnight Federal Reserve funds rate plus an agreed upon spread. For the year ended March 31, 2017, each fund’s commitment fee and interest expense were as follows, and are included in “Miscellaneous” expense in the Statements of Operations:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of MFS Municipal Series Trust and the Shareholders of MFS Alabama Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Arkansas Municipal Bond Fund, MFS California Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Georgia Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and MFS Massachusetts Municipal Bond Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of MFS Alabama Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Arkansas Municipal Bond Fund, MFS California Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Georgia Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and MFS Massachusetts Municipal Bond Fund (each a series of MFS Municipal Series Trust) (the “Funds”) as of March 31, 2017, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of March 31, 2017, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholders:
Despite the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union and policy uncertainty accompanying the new presidential administration in the United States, most markets have proved resilient. U.S. share prices have reached new highs and U.S. bond yields rose on hopes surrounding President Trump’s proposed fiscal policies and indications that the U.S. Federal Reserve could hike rates more aggressively. However, interest rates in most developed markets remain very low, with central banks maintaining accommodative monetary policies to reinvigorate slow-growing economies.
Globally, economic growth has shown signs of recovery of late, led by China, the United States and the eurozone. Despite better growth, there are few immediate signs of worrisome inflation. Emerging market economies are recovering at a somewhat slower pace amid fears that restrictive U.S. trade policies could further hamper the already-slow pace of global trade growth. Looking ahead, markets will have to contend with a series of European elections during 2017, which, depending on the outcome, could further call into question the future direction of the European Union.
At MFS®, we believe in a patient, long-term approach to investing. Viewing investments with a long lens makes it possible to filter out short-term market noise and focus on achieving solid risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle.
In our view, such an approach, along with the professional guidance of a financial advisor, will help you reach your investment objectives.
Respectfully,
Robert J. Manning
Executive Chairman

| (a) | For all securities other than those specifically described below, ratings are assigned to underlying securities utilizing ratings from Moody’s, Fitch, and Standard & Poor’s rating agencies and applying the following hierarchy: If all three agencies provide a rating, the middle rating (after dropping the highest and lowest ratings) is assigned; if two of the three agencies rate a security, the lower of the two is assigned. Ratings are shown in the S&P and Fitch scale (e.g., AAA). Securities rated BBB or higher are considered investment grade. All ratings are subject to change. Not Rated includes fixed income securities, including fixed income futures contracts, which have not been rated by any rating agency. The fund may or may not have held all of these instruments on this date. The fund is not rated by these agencies. |
| (d) | Duration is a measure of how much a bond’s price is likely to fluctuate with general changes in interest rates, e.g., if rates rise 1.00%, a bond with a 5-year duration is likely to lose about 5.00% of its value due to the interest rate move. |
| (i) | For purposes of this presentation, the components include the value of securities, and reflect the impact of the equivalent exposure of derivative positions, if any. These amounts may be negative from time to time. Equivalent exposure is a calculated amount that translates the derivative position into a reasonable approximation of the amount of the underlying asset that the portfolio would have to hold at a given point in time to have the same price sensitivity that results from the portfolio’s ownership of the derivative contract. When dealing with derivatives, equivalent exposure is a more representative measure of the potential impact of a position on portfolio performance than value. The bond component will include any accrued interest amounts. |
| (m) | In determining an instrument’s effective maturity for purposes of calculating the fund’s dollar-weighted average effective maturity, MFS uses the instrument’s stated maturity or, if applicable, an earlier date on which MFS believes it is probable that a maturity-shortening device (such as a put, pre-refunding or prepayment) will cause the instrument to be repaid. Such an earlier date can be substantially shorter than the instrument’s stated maturity. |
Where the fund holds convertible bonds, these are treated as part of the equity portion of the portfolio.
Cash & Cash Equivalents includes any cash, investments in money market funds, short-term securities, and other assets less liabilities. Please see the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for additional information related to the fund’s cash position and other assets and liabilities.
Percentages are based on net assets as of 3/31/17.
The portfolio is actively managed and current holdings may be different.

| (m) | In determining an instrument’s effective maturity for purposes of calculating the fund’s dollar-weighted average effective maturity, MFS uses the instrument’s stated maturity or, if applicable, an earlier date on which MFS believes it is probable that a maturity-shortening device (such as a put, pre-refunding or prepayment) will cause the instrument to be repaid. Such an earlier date can be substantially shorter than the instrument’s stated maturity. |
Where the fund holds convertible bonds, these are treated as part of the equity portion of the portfolio.

Summary of Results
For the twelve months ended March 31, 2017, Class A shares, at net asset value, of the municipal bond funds of Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (formerly “Barclays Municipal Bond Index”) while the municipal bond fund of New York performed in line with the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index and the municipal bond fund of Pennsylvania outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index over the same period. The performance for the individual funds and the benchmark are set forth in the Performance Summary.
Market Environment
Global growth improved during much of the reporting period as oil prices recovered from their earlier plunge and fiscal and monetary stimulus from China took hold. Market confidence increased after the US elections in November in anticipation of lower taxes, a lighter regulatory burden and increased infrastructure spending, boosting US equities and bond yields. The US Federal Reserve (“Fed”) increased interest rates by 25 basis points at the end of the period, bringing the total number of quarter-percent hikes in the federal funds rate to three since December 2015. Globally, however, central bank policy remained highly accommodative, which forced many government, and even some corporate, bond yields into negative territory during the period. During the first half of the period, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union (“EU”), beginning a multi-year process of negotiation in order to achieve “Brexit.” While markets initially reacted to the vote with alarm, the spillover to European and emerging market (“EM”) economies was relatively short-lived, although risks of further hits to EU cohesiveness could re-emerge.
Headwinds from lower energy and commodity prices abated during the period as stabilizing oil prices helped push energy earnings higher relative to expectations. A sharp rise in the US dollar was an earnings headwind for multinationals, but has since subsided. US consumer spending held up well during the second half of the period amid a modest increase in real wages and relatively low gasoline prices. Demand for autos reached near-record territory, while the housing market continued its recovery. Global trade, which was sluggish early in the period, showed signs of improvement in the period’s second half and EM countries began to show signs of a modest upturn in activity along with adjustment in their external accounts. These improved conditions appeared to have reassured investors and contributed to record inflows into the asset class during July and August as negative yields for an increasing share of developed market bonds drove yield-hungry investors further out on the risk spectrum. Similar investor inflows were experienced in the investment grade and high yield corporate markets. Late in the reporting period, however, new challenges emerged for emerging markets debt as a result of the US presidential election, which raised concerns about the potential for a protectionist turn in US trade policy which could negatively impact EM economies. These concerns, along with rising expectations for US growth, inflation and interest rates, have turned the tables on flows into emerging markets debt. Since the election, flows have reversed. As of the end of the period, the markets seemed to be in “wait-and-see” mode, looking for evidence to either confirm or refute the repricing of risk that has occurred since Election Day.
US Treasury yields rose during the reporting period, with most of the increase in yields occurring during the latter half of the reporting period. According to data from the Fed, 10-year US Treasury yields started the reporting period at 1.79%, fell to as low as 1.38% in the wake of the Brexit vote in June 2016, and finished the reporting period at 2.42%. A significant portion of the increase in yields occurred in the wake of the results of the US presidential election, as President-elect Donald Trump and Republicans, who remained in control of both houses of Congress, discussed the prospects for greater-than-expected fiscal stimulus. The prospects for fiscal stimulus raised the possibility of stronger growth and higher inflation in the near-to-medium-term, which pushed Treasury yields higher.
The municipal bond market also saw an increase in yields post-election, with the market underperforming Treasuries for a while, as flows into the asset class reversed, before recovering due to increased demand for higher-quality municipal securities from non-traditional municipal investors, also called crossover buyers.
Amid the volatile yield environment, total returns for the broader US investment grade municipal bond market were essentially flat, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, however mid-quality investment grade and below-investment grade municipal bonds performed a bit better than the highest-quality portion of the market. Yet, municipal bonds broadly lagged taxable bonds amid a strong recovery in credit spreads in areas such as investment grade and high yield corporate debt during the first-half of the reporting period, and resilient spreads in the second-half of the period.
Municipal market performance was also impacted by higher-than-average increased issuance, especially during the third quarter of the reporting period, coupled with reduced demand for municipal debt during the same time frame. Against this backdrop, fundamentals generally remained stable for the majority of municipal issuers, and as a result, tax-equivalent yields appeared attractive relative to overall credit quality. However, markets remain concerned about underfunded public employee pension systems and other benefits promised to public employees, and the political difficulties in enacting reform.

Factors Affecting Performance
A longer duration (d) stance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, in both the Mississippi and New York funds, negatively impacted relative performance while a shorter relative duration stance within the North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia funds benefited relative performance as interest rates rose during the reporting period. Bond selection within “BBB” rated (r) issues weighed on relative results in the North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia funds.
In terms of asset allocation, an underweight allocation to the transportation sector and holdings of “C” rated securities aided relative results across all funds. Additionally, an overweight allocation to the strong-performing health care sector in the Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Tennessee funds supported relative returns.
Security selection within “A” rated (r) securities also benefited relative returns in all funds, notably in the transportation sector. Selection within the health care sector, in the Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and West Virginia funds, was also a notable contributor. Lastly, selection within “BBB” rated issues the Pennsylvania fund also supported relative performance.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY THROUGH 3/31/17
The following charts illustrate a representative class of each fund’s historical performance in comparison to its benchmark(s). Performance results include the deduction of the maximum applicable sales charge and reflect the percentage change in net asset value, including reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Each fund’s results have been compared to the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, a market capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of the tax-exempt bond market. However, while this index is considered the benchmark for the performance of municipal bond funds, it is comprised of municipal bonds issued within the 50 states and the District of Columbia as well as U.S. territories and possessions such as Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, while each of the funds invests a large percentage of its assets in municipal issuers of the state that is in the fund’s name. The performance of other share classes will be greater than or less than that of the class depicted below. Benchmarks are unmanaged and may not be invested in directly. Benchmark returns do not reflect sales charges, commissions or expenses. (See Notes to Performance Summary.)
Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate so your shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. The performance shown does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Notes to Performance Summary
Average annual total return represents the average annual change in value for each share class for the periods presented. Life returns are presented where the share class has less than 10 years of performance history and represent the average annual total return from the class inception date to the stated period end date. As the fund’s share classes may have different inception dates, the life returns may represent different time periods and may not be comparable. As a result, no comparative benchmark performance information is provided for life periods.
Performance results reflect any applicable expense subsidies and waivers in effect during the periods shown. Without such subsidies and waivers each fund’s performance results would be less favorable. Please see the prospectus and financial statements for complete details.
Performance results do not include adjustments made for financial reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may differ from amounts reported in the financial highlights.
A portion of income may be subject to state, federal, and/or alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to a capital gains tax.
From time to time the funds may receive proceeds from litigation settlements, without which performance would be lower.

Fund expenses borne by the shareholders during the period, October 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017
As a shareholder of the funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on certain purchase or redemption payments, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period October 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line for each share class in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for each share class in the tables is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Each fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
| (2) | Significant Accounting Policies |
General – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the date of each fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities through the date that the financial statements were issued. Each fund invests primarily in municipal instruments. The value of municipal instruments can be affected by changes in their actual or perceived credit quality. The credit quality of municipal instruments can be affected by, among other things, the financial condition of the issuer or guarantor, the issuer’s future borrowing plans and sources of revenue, the economic feasibility of the revenue bond project or general borrowing purpose, political or economic developments in the region or state where the instrument is issued and the liquidity of the security. Municipal instruments generally trade in the over-the-counter market. Municipal instruments backed by current and anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the taxation supporting the projects or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. If the Internal Revenue Service determines an issuer of a municipal instrument has not complied with the applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become taxable, the security could decline in value, and distributions made by the funds could be taxable to shareholders.
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released its Final Rule on Investment Company Reporting Modernization (the “Rule”). The Rule, which introduces two new regulatory reporting forms for investment companies – Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN – also contains amendments to Regulation S-X which impact financial statement presentation, particularly the presentation of derivative investments. Although still evaluating the impacts of the Rule, management believes that many of the Regulation S-X amendments are consistent with the funds’ current financial statement presentation and expects that each fund will be able to comply with the Rule’s Regulation S-X amendments by the August 1, 2017 compliance date.
In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) – Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”). For entities that hold callable debt securities at a premium, ASU 2017-08 requires that the premium be amortized to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 would first be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is still evaluating the potential impacts of ASU 2017-08 but believes that adoption of ASU 2017-08 will not have a material effect on each fund’s financial position or its overall results of operations.
Balance Sheet Offsetting – Each fund’s accounting policy with respect to balance sheet offsetting is that, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement does not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between each fund and the applicable counterparty. Each fund’s right to setoff may be restricted or prohibited by the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the particular jurisdiction to which a specific master netting agreement counterparty is subject. Balance sheet offsetting disclosures, to the extent applicable to each fund, have been included in each fund’s Significant Accounting Policies note under the captions for each of the fund’s in-scope financial instruments and transactions.
Investment Valuations – Debt instruments and floating rate loans, including restricted debt instruments, are generally valued at an evaluated or composite bid as provided by a third-party pricing service. Short-term instruments with a maturity at issuance of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Futures contracts are generally valued at last posted settlement price on their primary exchange as provided by a third-party pricing service. Futures contracts for which there were no trades that day for a particular position are generally valued at the closing bid quotation on their primary exchange as provided by a third-party pricing service. Open-end investment companies are generally valued at net asset value per share. Securities and other assets generally valued on the basis of information from a third-party pricing service may also be valued at a broker/dealer bid quotation. Values obtained from third-party pricing services can utilize both transaction data and market information such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data.

The Board of Trustees has delegated primary responsibility for determining or causing to be determined the value of each fund’s investments (including any fair valuation) to the adviser pursuant to valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. If the adviser determines that reliable market quotations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser in accordance with such procedures under the oversight of the Board of Trustees. Under each fund’s valuation policies and procedures, market quotations are not considered to be readily available for most types of debt instruments and floating rate loans and many types of derivatives. These investments are generally valued at fair value based on information from third-party pricing services. In addition, investments may be valued at fair value if the adviser determines that an investment’s value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded (such as foreign exchange or market) and prior to the determination of each fund’s net asset value, or after the halting of trading of a specific security where trading does not resume prior to the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded. The adviser generally relies on third-party pricing services or other information (such as the correlation with price movements of similar securities in the same or other markets; the type, cost and investment characteristics of the security; the business and financial condition of the issuer; and trading and other market data) to assist in determining whether to fair value and at what value to fair value an investment. The value of an investment for purposes of calculating each fund’s net asset value can differ depending on the source and method used to determine value. When fair valuation is used, the value of an investment used to determine each fund’s net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same investment. There can be no assurance that each fund could obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if it were to sell the investment at the same time at which each fund determines its net asset value per share.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are categorized into three broad levels. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Each fund’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. Level 1 includes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speed, and credit risk). Level 3 includes unobservable inputs, which may include the adviser’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. The following is a summary of the levels used as of March 31, 2017 in valuing each fund’s assets or liabilities:

Derivatives – The Mississippi Fund, the Pennsylvania Fund, the Tennessee Fund, and the Virginia Fund use derivatives for different purposes, primarily to increase or decrease exposure to a particular market or segment of the market, or security, to increase or decrease interest rate exposure, or as alternatives to direct investments. Derivatives are used for hedging or non-hedging purposes. While hedging can reduce or eliminate losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains. When the funds use derivatives as an investment to increase market exposure, or for hedging purposes, gains and losses from derivative instruments may be substantially greater than the derivative’s original cost.
The derivative instruments used by the Mississippi Fund, the Pennsylvania Fund, the Tennessee Fund, and the Virginia Fund were futures contracts.
At March 31, 2017, the funds did not have any outstanding derivative instruments.
The following table presents, by major type of derivative contract, the realized gain (loss) on derivatives held by these funds for the year ended March 31, 2017 as reported in the Statements of Operations:
| Fund | Risk | Futures Contracts | ||
| Mississippi Fund | Interest Rate | $(21,079) | ||
| Pennsylvania Fund | Interest Rate | (28,744) | ||
| Tennessee Fund | Interest Rate | (24,912) | ||
| Virginia Fund | Interest Rate | (67,070) |
There is no change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivative transactions at period end.
Derivative counterparty credit risk is managed through formal evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. On certain, but not all, uncleared derivatives, each fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty credit risk whenever possible by entering into an ISDA Master Agreement on a bilateral basis. The ISDA Master Agreement gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under such agreement if there is a certain deterioration in the credit quality of the other party. Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA Master Agreement, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and to net amounts owed under each agreement to one net amount payable by one party to the other. This right to close out and net payments across all transactions traded under the ISDA Master Agreement could result in a reduction of each fund’s credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by each fund under the applicable transactions, if any.
Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are set by the clearing broker and the clearing house for cleared derivatives (e.g., futures contracts, cleared swaps, and exchange-traded options) while collateral terms are contract specific for uncleared derivatives (e.g., forward foreign currency exchange contracts, uncleared swap agreements, and uncleared options). For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, which contains a collateral support annex, the collateral requirements are netted across all transactions traded under such agreement and one amount is posted from one party to the other to collateralize such obligations. Cash that has been segregated to cover each fund’s collateral or margin obligations under derivative contracts, if any, will be reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “Restricted cash” or “Deposits with brokers.” Securities pledged as collateral or margin for the same purpose, if any, are noted in the Portfolio of Investments. The funds may be required to make payments of interest on uncovered collateral or margin obligations with the broker. Any such payments are included in “Miscellaneous” expense in the Statements of Operations.

Futures Contracts – The Mississippi Fund, the Pennsylvania Fund, the Tennessee Fund, and the Virginia Fund entered into futures contracts which may be used to hedge against or obtain broad market exposure, interest rate exposure, or to manage duration. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an initial margin in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount of the contract. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gain or loss by the fund until the contract is closed or expires at which point the gain or loss on futures contracts is realized.
The fund bears the risk of interest rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. While futures contracts may present less counterparty risk to the fund since the contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees payments to the broker, there is still counterparty credit risk due to the insolvency of the broker. The fund’s maximum risk of loss due to counterparty credit risk is equal to the margin posted by the fund to the broker plus any gains or minus any losses on the outstanding futures contracts.
Inverse Floaters – The Virginia Fund invests in municipal inverse floating rate securities which are structured by the issuer (known as primary market inverse floating rate securities) or by the Virginia Fund utilizing the Virginia Fund’s municipal bonds which have already been issued (known as self-deposited secondary market inverse floating rate securities) to have variable rates of interest which typically move in the opposite direction of short-term interest rates. A self-deposited secondary market inverse floating rate security is created when the Virginia Fund transfers a fixed rate municipal bond to a special purpose trust, and causes the trust to (a) issue floating rate certificates to third parties, in an amount equal to a fraction of the par amount of the deposited bonds (these certificates usually pay tax-exempt interest at short-term interest rates that typically reset weekly; and the certificate holders typically, on seven days notice, have the option to tender their certificates to the trust or another party for redemption at par plus accrued interest), and (b) issue inverse floating rate certificates (sometimes referred to as “inverse floaters”) which are held by the Virginia Fund. Such self-deposited inverse floaters held by the Virginia Fund are accounted for as secured borrowings, with the municipal bonds reflected in the investments of the Virginia Fund and amounts owed to the holders of the floating rate certificates under the provisions of the trust, which amounts are paid solely from the assets of the trust, reflected as liabilities of the Virginia Fund in its Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption, “Payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates from trust assets”. The carrying value of the Virginia Fund’s payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates from trust assets as reported in the Virginia Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities approximates its fair value. The value of the payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates from trust assets as of the reporting date is considered level 2 under the fair value hierarchy disclosure. At March 31, 2017, the Virginia Fund’s payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates from trust assets was $5,009,248 and the weighted average interest rate on the floating rate certificates issued by the trust was 0.94%. For the year ended March 31, 2017, the average payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates from trust assets was $5,010,717 at a weighted average interest rate of 0.62%. Interest expense and fees relate to interest payments made to the holders of certain floating rate certificates and associated fees, both of which are made from trust assets. Interest expense and fees are recorded as incurred. For the year ended March 31, 2017, interest expense and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters amounted to $63,304 and are included in “Interest expense and fees” in the Statements of Operations.
Indemnifications – Under each fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to each fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, each fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each fund’s maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each fund that have not yet occurred.
Investment Transactions and Income – Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premium and discount is amortized or accreted for financial statement purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Interest payments received in additional securities are recorded on the ex-interest date in an amount equal to the value of the security on such date. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status or set to accrue at a rate of interest less than the contractual coupon when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Interest income for those debt obligations may be further reduced by the write-off of the related interest receivables when deemed uncollectible.
Each fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received from litigation involving portfolio holdings are reflected in the Statements of Operations in realized gain/loss if the security has been disposed of by the fund or in unrealized gain/loss if the security is still held by the fund. Any other proceeds from litigation not related to portfolio holdings are reflected as other income in the Statements of Operations.
Fees Paid Indirectly – Each fund’s custody fee may be reduced by a credit earned under an arrangement that measures the value of U.S. dollars deposited with the custodian by each fund. The amount of the credit, for the year ended March 31, 2017, is shown as a reduction of total expenses in the Statements of Operations.

Reimbursement of Expenses by Custodian – In December 2015, the funds’ custodian (or former custodian), State Street Bank and Trust Company, announced that it intended to reimburse its asset servicing clients for expense amounts that it billed in error during the period 1998 through 2015. The amount of this one-time reimbursement attributable to each fund is reflected as “Reimbursement of custodian expenses” in the Statements of Operations. Custodian expenses were not reimbursed for the Pennsylvania Fund.
Tax Matters and Distributions – Each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute all of its taxable and tax-exempt income, including realized capital gains. As a result, no provision for federal income tax is required. Each fund’s federal tax returns, when filed, will remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a three year period. Management has analyzed each fund’s tax positions taken on federal and state tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Certain capital accounts in the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences in order to reflect their tax character. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or net asset value per share. Temporary differences which arise from recognizing certain items of income, expense, gain or loss in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes will reverse at some time in the future. Distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains are temporary overdistributions for financial statement purposes resulting from differences in the recognition or classification of income or distributions for financial statement and tax purposes.
Book/tax differences primarily relate to expiration of capital loss carryforwards, amortization and accretion of debt securities, and secured borrowings, as applicable to each fund.
The tax character of distributions declared to shareholders for the last two fiscal years is as follows:

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized for fund fiscal years beginning after March 31, 2011 may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses (“post-enactment losses”). Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses (“pre-enactment losses”). As a transition rule, the Act requires that all post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of March 31, 2017, each fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized gains as follows:

Multiple Classes of Shares of Beneficial Interest – Each fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. Each fund’s income and common expenses are allocated to shareholders based on the value of settled shares outstanding of each class. Each fund’s realized and unrealized gain (loss) are allocated to shareholders based on the daily net assets of each class. Dividends are declared separately for each class. Differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase. Each fund’s distributions declared to shareholders as reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are presented by class as follows:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of MFS Mississippi Municipal Bond Fund, MFS New York Municipal Bond Fund, MFS North Carolina Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, MFS South Carolina Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Tennessee Municipal Bond Fund, MFS Virginia Municipal Bond Fund and MFS West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund (each a series of MFS Municipal Series Trust) (the “Funds”) as of March 31, 2017, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of March 31, 2017, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
Dear Shareholders:
Despite the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union and policy uncertainty accompanying the new presidential administration in the United States,
most markets have proved resilient. U.S. share prices have reached new highs and U.S. bond yields rose on hopes surrounding President Trump’s proposed fiscal policies and indications that the U.S. Federal Reserve could hike rates more aggressively. However, interest rates in most developed markets remain very low, with central banks maintaining accommodative monetary policies to reinvigorate slow-growing economies.
Globally, economic growth has shown signs of recovery of late, led by China, the United States and the eurozone. Despite better growth, there are few immediate signs of worrisome inflation. Emerging market economies are recovering at a somewhat
slower pace amid fears that restrictive U.S. trade policies could further hamper the already-slow pace of global trade growth. Looking ahead, markets will have to contend with a series of European elections during 2017, which, depending on the outcome, could further call into question the future direction of the European Union.
At MFS®, we believe in a patient, long-term approach to investing. Viewing investments with a long lens makes it possible to filter out short-term market noise and focus on achieving solid risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle.
In our view, such an approach, along with the professional guidance of a financial advisor, will help you reach your investment objectives.
Respectfully,
Robert J. Manning
Executive Chairman

Portfolio Composition – continued
| (d) | Duration is a measure of how much a bond’s price is likely to fluctuate with general changes in interest rates, e.g., if rates rise 1.00%, a bond with a 5-year duration is likely to lose about 5.00% of its value due to the interest rate move. |
| (i) | For purposes of this presentation, the components include the value of securities, and reflect the impact of the equivalent exposure of derivative positions, if any. These amounts may be negative from time to time. Equivalent exposure is a calculated amount that translates the derivative position into a reasonable approximation of the amount of the underlying asset that the portfolio would have to hold at a given point in time to have the same price sensitivity that results from the portfolio’s ownership of the derivative contract. When dealing with derivatives, equivalent exposure is a more representative measure of the potential impact of a position on portfolio performance than value. The bond component will include any accrued interest amounts. |
| (m) | In determining an instrument’s effective maturity for purposes of calculating the fund’s dollar-weighted average effective maturity, MFS uses the instrument’s stated maturity or, if applicable, an earlier date on which MFS believes it is probable that a maturity-shortening device (such as a put, pre-refunding or prepayment) will cause the instrument to be repaid. Such an earlier date can be substantially shorter than the instrument’s stated maturity. |
Where the fund holds convertible bonds, these are treated as part of the equity portion of the portfolio.
Cash & Cash Equivalents includes any cash, investments in money market funds, short-term securities, and other assets less liabilities. Please see the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for additional information related to the fund’s cash position and other assets and liabilities.
Other includes equivalent exposure from currency derivatives and/or any offsets to derivative positions and/or the leverage created through the issuance of self-deposited inverse floaters and may be negative.
Percentages are based on net assets as of 3/31/17.
The portfolio is actively managed and current holdings may be different.

Summary of Results
For the twelve months ended March 31, 2017, Class A shares of the MFS Municipal Income Fund (“fund”) provided a total return of 0.59%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 0.15% for the fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (formerly “Barclays Municipal Bond Index”).
Market Environment
Global growth improved during much of the reporting period as oil prices recovered from their earlier plunge and fiscal and monetary stimulus from China took hold. Market confidence increased after the US elections in November in anticipation of lower taxes, a lighter regulatory burden and increased infrastructure spending, boosting US equities and bond yields. The US Federal Reserve (“Fed”) increased interest rates by 25 basis points at the end of the period, bringing the total number of quarter-percent hikes in the federal funds rate to three since December 2015. Globally, however, central bank policy remained highly accommodative, which forced many government, and even some corporate, bond yields into negative territory during the period. During the first half of the period, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union (“EU”), beginning a multi-year process of negotiation in order to achieve “Brexit.” While markets initially reacted to the vote with alarm, the spillover to European and emerging market (“EM”) economies was relatively short-lived, although risks of further hits to EU cohesiveness could re-emerge.
Headwinds from lower energy and commodity prices abated during the period as stabilizing oil prices helped push energy earnings higher relative to expectations. A sharp rise in the US dollar was an earnings headwind for multinationals, but has since subsided. US consumer spending held up well during the second half of the period amid a modest increase in real wages and relatively low gasoline prices. Demand for autos reached near-record territory, while the housing market continued its recovery. Global trade, which was sluggish early in the period, showed signs of improvement in the period’s second half and EM countries began to show signs of a modest upturn in activity along with adjustment in their external accounts. These improved conditions appeared to have reassured investors and contributed to record inflows into the asset class during July and August as negative yields for an increasing share of developed market bonds drove yield-hungry investors further out on the risk spectrum. Similar investor inflows were experienced in the investment grade and high yield corporate markets. Late in the reporting period, however, new challenges emerged for emerging markets debt as a result of the US presidential election, which raised concerns about the potential for a protectionist turn in US trade policy which could negatively impact EM economies. These concerns, along with rising expectations for US growth, inflation and interest rates, have turned the tables on flows into emerging markets debt. Since the election, flows have reversed. As of the end of the period, the markets seemed to be in “wait-and-see” mode, looking for evidence to either confirm or refute the repricing of risk that has occurred since Election Day.
US Treasury yields rose during the reporting period, with most of the increase in yields occurring during the latter half of the reporting period. According to data from the

Management Review – continued
Fed, 10-year US Treasury yields started the reporting period at 1.79%, fell to as low as 1.38% in the wake of the Brexit vote in June 2016, and finished the reporting period at 2.42%. A significant portion of the increase in yields occurred in the wake of the results of the US presidential election, as President-elect Donald Trump and Republicans, who remained in control of both houses of Congress, discussed the prospects for greater-than-expected fiscal stimulus. The prospects for fiscal stimulus raised the possibility of stronger growth and higher inflation in the near-to-medium-term, which pushed Treasury yields higher.
The municipal bond market also saw an increase in yields post-election, with the market underperforming Treasuries for a while, as flows into the asset class reversed, before recovering due to increased demand for higher-quality municipal securities from non-traditional municipal investors, also called crossover buyers.
Amid the volatile yield environment, total returns for the broader US investment grade municipal bond market were essentially flat, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, however mid-quality investment grade and below-investment grade municipal bonds performed a bit better than the highest-quality portion of the market. Yet, municipal bonds broadly lagged taxable bonds amid a strong recovery in credit spreads in areas such as investment grade and high yield corporate debt during the first-half of the reporting period, and resilient spreads in the second-half of the period.
Municipal market performance was also impacted by higher-than-average increased issuance, especially during the third quarter of the reporting period, coupled with reduced demand for municipal debt during the same time frame. Against this backdrop, fundamentals generally remained stable for the majority of municipal issuers, and as a result, tax-equivalent yields appeared attractive relative to overall credit quality. However, markets remain concerned about underfunded public employee pension systems and other benefits promised to public employees, and the political difficulties in enacting reform.
Factors Affecting Performance
A key factor that contributed to performance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index was the fund’s out-of-benchmark exposure to “B” rated (r) securities. Strong security selection in “A” and “BBB” rated (r) securities, and in the education, transportation and health care sectors, was an additional factor that strengthened relative performance.
During the reporting period, there were no factors that materially detracted from the fund’s relative performance.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY THROUGH 3/31/17
The following chart illustrates a representative class of the fund’s historical performance in comparison to its benchmark(s). Performance results include the deduction of the maximum applicable sales charge and reflect the percentage change in net asset value, including reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. The performance of other share classes will be greater than or less than that of the class depicted below. Benchmarks are unmanaged and may not be invested in directly. Benchmark returns do not reflect sales charges, commissions or expenses. (See Notes to Performance Summary.)
Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value fluctuate so your shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. The performance shown does not reflect the deduction of taxes, if any, that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Fund expenses borne by the shareholders during the period, October 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on certain purchase or redemption payments, and
(2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period October 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line for each share class in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) Business and Organization
MFS Municipal Income Fund (the fund) is a diversified series of MFS Municipal Series Trust which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
General – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the preparation of these financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the date of the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities through the date that the financial statements were issued. The fund invests primarily in municipal instruments. The value of municipal instruments can be affected by changes in their actual or perceived credit quality. The credit quality of municipal instruments can be affected by, among other things, the financial condition of the issuer or guarantor, the issuer’s future borrowing plans and sources of revenue, the economic feasibility of the revenue bond project or general borrowing purpose, political or economic developments in the region where the instrument is issued and the liquidity of the security. Municipal instruments generally trade in the over-the-counter market. Municipal instruments backed by current and anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the taxation supporting the projects or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. If the Internal Revenue Service determines an issuer of a municipal instrument has not complied with the applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become taxable, the security could decline in value, and distributions made by the fund could be taxable to shareholders.
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released its Final Rule on Investment Company Reporting Modernization (the “Rule”). The Rule, which introduces two new regulatory reporting forms for investment companies – Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN – also contains amendments to Regulation S-X which impact financial statement presentation, particularly the presentation of derivative investments. Although still evaluating the impacts of the Rule, management believes that many of the Regulation S-X amendments are consistent with the fund’s current financial statement presentation and expects that the fund will be able to comply with the Rule’s Regulation S-X amendments by the August 1, 2017 compliance date.
In March 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) – Premium Amortization on
81
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”). For entities that hold callable debt securities at a premium, ASU 2017-08 requires that the premium be amortized to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 would first be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is still evaluating the potential impacts of ASU 2017-08 but believes that adoption of ASU 2017-08 will not have a material effect on the fund’s financial position or its overall results of operations.
Balance Sheet Offsetting – The fund’s accounting policy with respect to balance sheet offsetting is that, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement does not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities across transactions between the fund and the applicable counterparty. The fund’s right to setoff may be restricted or prohibited by the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the particular jurisdiction to which a specific master netting agreement counterparty is subject. Balance sheet offsetting disclosures, to the extent applicable to the fund, have been included in the fund’s Significant Accounting Policies note under the captions for each of the fund’s in-scope financial instruments and transactions.
Investment Valuations – Debt instruments and floating rate loans, including restricted debt instruments, are generally valued at an evaluated or composite bid as provided by a third-party pricing service. Short-term instruments with a maturity at issuance of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Open-end investment companies are generally valued at net asset value per share. Securities and other assets generally valued on the basis of information from a third-party pricing service may also be valued at a broker/dealer bid quotation. Values obtained from third-party pricing services can utilize both transaction data and market information such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data.
The Board of Trustees has delegated primary responsibility for determining or causing to be determined the value of the fund’s investments (including any fair valuation) to the adviser pursuant to valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. If the adviser determines that reliable market quotations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser in accordance with such procedures under the oversight of the Board of Trustees. Under the fund’s valuation policies and procedures, market quotations are not considered to be readily available for most types of debt instruments and floating rate loans and many types of derivatives. These investments are generally valued at fair value based on information from third-party pricing services. In addition, investments may be valued at fair value if the adviser determines that an investment’s value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded (such as foreign exchange or market) and prior to the determination of the fund’s net asset value, or after the halting of trading of a specific security where trading does not resume prior to the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded. The adviser generally relies on third-party pricing services or other information (such as the correlation with price movements of similar securities in the same or other markets; the type, cost and investment characteristics of the
82

Notes to Financial Statements – continued
security; the business and financial condition of the issuer; and trading and other market data) to assist in determining whether to fair value and at what value to fair value an investment. The value of an investment for purposes of calculating the fund’s net asset value can differ depending on the source and method used to determine value. When fair valuation is used, the value of an investment used to determine the fund’s net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same investment. There can be no assurance that the fund could obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if it were to sell the investment at the same time at which the fund determines its net asset value per share.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are categorized into three broad levels. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fund’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. Level 1 includes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speed, and credit risk). Level 3 includes unobservable inputs, which may include the adviser’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. The following is a summary of the levels used as of March 31, 2017 in valuing the fund’s assets or liabilities:
| Investments at Value | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||
| Municipal Bonds | $— | $2,862,570,941 | $— | $2,862,570,941 | ||||||||||||
| Short-Term Securities | — | 1,490,000 | — | 1,490,000 | ||||||||||||
| Mutual Funds | 42,094,896 | — | — | 42,094,896 | ||||||||||||
| Total Investments | $42,094,896 | $2,864,060,941 | $— | $2,906,155,837 | ||||||||||||
For further information regarding security characteristics, see the Portfolio of Investments.
Inverse Floaters – The fund invests in municipal inverse floating rate securities which are structured by the issuer (known as primary market inverse floating rate securities) or by the fund utilizing the fund’s municipal bonds which have already been issued (known as self-deposited secondary market inverse floating rate securities) to have variable rates of interest which typically move in the opposite direction of short-term interest rates. A self-deposited secondary market inverse floating rate security is created when the fund transfers a fixed rate municipal bond to a special purpose trust, and causes the trust to (a) issue floating rate certificates to third parties, in an amount equal to a fraction of the par amount of the deposited bonds (these certificates usually pay tax-exempt interest at short-term interest rates that typically reset weekly; and the certificate holders typically, on seven days notice, have the option to tender their certificates to the trust or another party for redemption at par plus accrued interest), and (b) issue inverse floating rate certificates (sometimes referred to as “inverse floaters”) which are held by the fund. Such self-deposited inverse floaters held by the fund are accounted for as secured borrowings, with the municipal bonds reflected in the investments of the fund and amounts owed to the holders of the floating rate

Notes to Financial Statements – continued
certificates under the provisions of the trust, which amounts are paid solely from the assets of the trust, reflected as liabilities of the fund in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption, “Payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates from trust assets”. The carrying value of the fund’s payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates from trust assets as reported in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities approximates its fair value. The value of the payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates from trust assets as of the reporting date is considered level 2 under the fair value hierarchy disclosure. At March 31, 2017, the fund’s payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates from trust assets was $13,265,901 and the weighted average interest rate on the floating rate certificates issued by the trust was 1.08%. For the year ended March 31, 2017, the average payable to the holders of the floating rate certificates from trust assets was $25,724,809 at a weighted average interest rate of 0.69%. Interest expense and fees relate to interest payments made to the holders of certain floating rate certificates and associated fees, both of which are made from trust assets. Interest expense and fees are recorded as incurred. For the year ended March 31, 2017, interest expense and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters amounted to $334,781 and are included in “Interest expense and fees” in the Statement of Operations. Primary market inverse floaters held by the fund are not accounted for as secured borrowings.
Indemnifications – Under the fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The fund’s maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred.
Investment Transactions and Income – Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premium and discount is amortized or accreted for financial statement purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Interest payments received in additional securities are recorded on the ex-interest date in an amount equal to the value of the security on such date. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status or set to accrue at a rate of interest less than the contractual coupon when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Interest income for those debt obligations may be further reduced by the write-off of the related interest receivables when deemed uncollectible.
The fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received from litigation involving portfolio holdings are reflected in the Statement of Operations in realized gain/loss if the security has been disposed of by the fund or in unrealized gain/loss if the security is still held by the fund. Any other proceeds from litigation not related to portfolio holdings are reflected as other income in the Statement of Operations.
Legal fees and other related expenses incurred to preserve and protect the value of a security owned are added to the cost of the security; other legal fees are expensed. Capital infusions made directly to the security issuer, which are generally non-recurring, incurred to protect or enhance the value of high-yield debt securities, are reported as
84
Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
additions to the cost basis of the security. Costs that are incurred to negotiate the terms or conditions of capital infusions or that are expected to result in a plan of reorganization are reported as realized losses. Ongoing costs incurred to protect or enhance an investment, or costs incurred to pursue other claims or legal actions, are expensed.
Fees Paid Indirectly – The fund’s custody fee may be reduced by a credit earned under an arrangement that measures the value of U.S. dollars deposited with the custodian by the fund. The amount of the credit, for the year ended March 31, 2017, is shown as a reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations.
Reimbursement of Expenses by Custodian – In December 2015, the fund’s custodian (or former custodian), State Street Bank and Trust Company, announced that it intended to reimburse its asset servicing clients for expense amounts that it billed in error during the period 1998 through 2015. The amount of this one-time reimbursement attributable to the fund is reflected as “Reimbursement of custodian expenses” in the Statement of Operations.
Tax Matters and Distributions – The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute all of its taxable and tax-exempt income, including realized capital gains. As a result, no provision for federal income tax is required. The fund’s federal tax returns, when filed, will remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a three year period. Management has analyzed the fund’s tax positions taken on federal and state tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Certain capital accounts in the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences in order to reflect their tax character. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or net asset value per share. Temporary differences which arise from recognizing certain items of income, expense, gain or loss in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes will reverse at some time in the future. Distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains are temporary overdistributions for financial statement purposes resulting from differences in the recognition or classification of income or distributions for financial statement and tax purposes.
Book/tax differences primarily relate to amortization and accretion of debt securities.
The tax character of distributions declared to shareholders for the last two fiscal years is as follows:
| 3/31/17 | 3/31/16 | |||||||
| Ordinary income (including any short-term capital gains) | $1,042,126 | $— | ||||||
| Tax-exempt income | 83,716,983 | 77,755,158 | ||||||
| Total distributions | $84,759,109 | $77,755,158 | ||||||

The federal tax cost and the tax basis components of distributable earnings were as follows:
| As of 3/31/17 | ||||
| Cost of investments | $2,769,399,683 | |||
| Gross appreciation | 137,163,216 | |||

| Capital loss carryforwards | (36,833,759 | ) | ||
| Other temporary differences | (8,580,432 | ) | ||
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized for fund fiscal years beginning after March 31, 2011 may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses (“post-enactment losses”). Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses (“pre-enactment losses”). As a transition rule, the Act requires that all post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
As of March 31, 2017, the fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized gains as follows:
| Pre-enactment losses which expire as follows: | ||||
| 3/31/18 | $(937,881 | ) | ||
| 3/31/19 | (7,352,883 | ) | ||
| Total | $(8,290,764 | ) | ||
| Post-enactment losses which are characterized as follows: | ||||
| Short-Term | $(28,542,995 | ) | ||
Multiple Classes of Shares of Beneficial Interest – The fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. The fund’s income and common expenses are allocated to shareholders based on the value of settled shares outstanding of each class. The fund’s realized and unrealized gain (loss) are allocated to shareholders based on the daily net assets of each class. Dividends are declared separately for each class. Differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses. Class B and Class B1 shares will convert

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of MFS Municipal Series Trust and the Shareholders of MFS Municipal Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of MFS Municipal Income Fund (one of the series of MFS Municipal Series Trust) (the “Fund”) as of March 31, 2017, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MFS Municipal Income Trust as of March 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

| ITEM 2. | CODE OF ETHICS. |
The Registrant has adopted a Code of Ethics pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and as defined in Form N-CSR that applies to the Registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer. Effective January 1, 2017, the Code was amended to (i) clarify that the term “for profit” company as used in Section II.B of the Code excludes the investment adviser and its subsidiaries and pooled investment vehicles sponsored by the investment adviser or its subsidiaries, (ii) align the Code’s provisions regarding receipt of gifts and entertainment in Section II.B of the Code with the gifts and entertainment policy of the Funds’ investment adviser, and (iii) make other administrative changes. During the period covered by the report, the Registrant did not grant a waiver, including an implicit waiver, from any provision of the Code.
A copy of the amended Code of Ethics effective as of January 1, 2017 is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR.
| ITEM 3. | AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT. |
Messrs. Steven E. Buller, John P. Kavanaugh and Clarence Otis, Jr. and Ms. Maryanne L. Roepke, members of the Audit Committee, have been determined by the Board of Trustees in their reasonable business judgment to meet the definition of “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Form N-CSR. In addition, Messrs. Buller, Kavanaugh and Otis and Ms. Roepke are “independent” members of the Audit Committee (as such term has been defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in regulations implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002). The Securities and Exchange Commission has stated that the designation of a person as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this Item 3 on the Form N-CSR does not impose on such a person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations or liability imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.

| * | This amount reflects the fees billed to MFS and MFS Related Entities for non-audit services relating directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds (portions of which services also related to the operations and financial reporting of other funds within the MFS Funds complex). |
| # | This amount reflects the aggregate fees billed by Deloitte, as the case may be, for non-audit services rendered to the Funds and for non-audit services rendered to MFS and the MFS Related Entities. |
| 1 | The fees included under “Audit-Related Fees” are fees related to assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements, but not reported under ‘‘Audit Fees,’’ including accounting consultations, agreed-upon procedure reports, attestation reports, comfort letters and internal control reviews. |
| 2 | The fees included under “Tax Fees” are fees associated with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, including services relating to the filing or amendment of federal, state or local income tax returns, regulated investment company qualification reviews and tax distribution and analysis. |
| 3 | The fees included under “All Other Fees” are fees for products and services provided by Deloitte other than those reported under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees”. |
| 4 | Fees reported in 2016 have been restated in this filing from those reported in the Registrant’s filing for the reporting period ended March 31, 2016. |
Item 4(e)(1):
Set forth below are the policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees relating to the pre-approval of audit and non-audit related services:
To the extent required by applicable law, pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the Board is needed for all audit and permissible non-audit services rendered to the Funds and all permissible non-audit services rendered to MFS or MFS Related Entities if the services relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. Pre-approval is currently on an engagement-by-engagement basis. In the event pre-approval of such services is necessary between regular meetings of the Audit Committee and it is not practical to wait to seek pre-approval at the next regular meeting of the Audit Committee, pre-approval of such services may be referred to the Chair of the Audit Committee for approval; provided that the Chair may not pre-approve any individual engagement for such services exceeding $50,000 or multiple engagements for such services in the aggregate exceeding $100,000 in each period between regular meetings of the Audit Committee. Any engagement pre-approved by the Chair between regular meetings of the Audit Committee shall be presented for ratification by the entire Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Item 4(e)(2):
None, or 0%, of the services relating to the Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees paid by the Fund and MFS and MFS Related Entities relating directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant disclosed above were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraphs (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (which permits audit committee approval after the start of the engagement with respect to services other than audit, review or attest services, if certain conditions are satisfied).
Item 4(f): Not applicable.
Item 4(h): The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision by a Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm of non-audit services to MFS and MFS Related Entities that were not pre-approved by the Committee (because such services did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant) was compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm as the Registrant’s principal auditors.
| ITEM 5. | AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS. |
Not applicable to the Registrant.
| ITEM 6. | INVESTMENTS |
A schedule of investments of the Registrant is included as part of the report to shareholders of such series under Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.
