                           MFS Municipal Income Trust

(a)(i)      Based upon their evaluation of the registrant's  disclosure controls
            and  procedures  as  conducted  within 90 days of the filing date of
            this report,  the  registrant's  chief  financial  officer and chief
            executive officer have concluded that those disclosure  controls and
            procedures   provide   reasonable   assurance   that  the   material
            information  required  to be  disclosed  by  the  registrant  in the
            reports it files or submits  under the  Securities  Exchange  Act of
            1934,  as  amended  (the  "1934  Act"),   is  recorded,   processed,
            summarized and reported in substantial  compliance with the 1934 Act
            and the Commission's rules and forms thereunder.

(ii)        There  were no  significant  changes  in the  registrant's  internal
            controls or in other factors that could  significantly  affect these
            controls subsequent to the date of their last evaluation.

(iii)    Certifications

     I, Richard M. Hisey, certify that:

1.       I have reviewed this report on Form N-SAR of MFS Municipal Income
Trust;

2.       Based  on my  knowledge,  this  report  does  not  contain  any  untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
         to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which
         such  statements  were made, not misleading  with respect to the period
         covered by this report;

3.       Based on my  knowledge,  the  financial  information  included  in this
         report, and the financial statements on which the financial information
         is  based,  fairly  present  in all  material  respects  the  financial
         condition, results of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows
         (if the  financial  statements  are  required to include a statement of
         cash flows) of the registrant as of, and for, the periods  presented in
         this report;

4.       The registrant's  other  certifying  officers and I are responsible for
         establishing  and  maintaining  disclosure  controls and procedures (as
         defined in Rule  30a-2(c)  under the  Investment  Company  Act) for the
         registrant and have:

a.               designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
                 material information relating to the registrant,  including its
                 consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within
                 those  entities,  particularly  during the period in which this
                 report is being prepared;

                                                                Exhibit Q
                                                              Page 2 of 4



b.       evaluated the  effectiveness  of the registrant's  disclosure  controls
and procedures as of a date within
                 90 days prior to the filing date of this report
(the "Evaluation Date"); and

c.       presented  in this  report  our  conclusions  about  the  effectiveness
of the  disclosure  controls  and
                 procedures based on our evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

5.       The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed,  based
         on our most recent  evaluation,  to the  registrant's  auditors and the
         audit  committee of the  registrant's  board of  directors  (or persons
         performing the equivalent functions):

a.       all  significant  deficiencies  in the design or  operation  of
internal  controls  which could  adversely
                    affect the registrant's ability to record,  process,
summarize,  and report financial data and
                    have identified for the  registrant's  auditors any material
weaknesses in internal  controls;
                    and

b.       any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves  management or
other  employees who have a significant
                    role in the registrant's internal controls; and

6.       The registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated in this
         report  whether  or not there  were  significant  changes  in  internal
         controls or in other factors that could  significantly  affect internal
         controls  subsequent  to  the  date  of  our  most  recent  evaluation,
         including   any   corrective   actions   with  regard  to   significant
         deficiencies and material weaknesses.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Trustees and Shareholders of MFS Municipal Income Trust:

In  planning  and  performing  our  audit  of the  financial  statements  of MFS
Municipal  Income Trust (the  "Trust")  for the year ended  October 31, 2002 (on
which we have  issued our report  dated  December 4, 2002),  we  considered  its
internal control,  including control activities for safeguarding securities,  in
order to determine our auditing  procedures  for the purpose of  expressing  our
opinion on the financial  statements and to comply with the requirements of Form
N-SAR, and not to provide assurance on the Trust's internal control.

The  management of the Trust is responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining
internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility,  estimates and judgments by
management  are  required to assess the expected  benefits and related  costs of
controls.  Generally,  controls  that are  relevant  to an audit  pertain to the
entity's objective of preparing financial  statements for external purposes that
are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.  Those  controls  include the  safeguarding  of
assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition.

Because of inherent  limitations in any internal  control,  misstatements due to
error  or  fraud  may  occur  and  not be  detected.  Also,  projections  of any
evaluation  of internal  control to future  periods are subject to the risk that
the internal control may become  inadequate  because of changes in conditions or
that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures deteriorates.

Our consideration of the Trust's internal control would not necessarily disclose
all  matters  in  internal  control  that  might be  material  weaknesses  under
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
A material  weakness is a condition  in which the design or  operation of one or
more of the internal  control  components  does not reduce to a  relatively  low
level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would
be material in relation to the financial  statements being audited may occur and
not be detected  within a timely  period by  employees  in the normal  course of
performing their assigned functions.  However, we noted no matters involving the
Trust's internal control and its operation,  including controls for safeguarding
securities  that we consider to be material  weaknesses  as defined  above as of
October 31, 2002.

This report is intended solely for the  information  and use of management,  the
Board of Trustees  and  Shareholders  of MFS  Municipal  Income  Trust,  and the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission and is not intended to be and should not be
used by anyone other than these specified parties.
