Michigan Business Tax A five-bill package that would change the way businesses are taxed in Michigan was passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives on June 28, 2007. The Michigan Business Tax Estimator requires Microsoft Excel. STATE SETS UP WEBSITE ON NEW BUSINESS TAX
A new state website dedicated to the newly enacted
Michigan Business Tax is now up and operating, and includes a 30-minute "webinar"
to help walk individuals through the basic elements of the tax, officials
with the Department of Treasury said on Monday.
Treasurer Robert Kleine said the site will be the best
location to get information on the new tax, which replaces the Single
Business Tax and takes effect on January 1.
The site is set at
www.michigan.gov/mbt
and along with the "webinar" includes basic information about the tax, as
well as specific sections of the new tax law for review.
Not yet available, though officials hope it will be
soon, is a tax estimating function on the website.
A tax estimator is available, though, through the
National Federation of Independent Businesses website.
The site will be regularly updated with new
information, Treasury officials said.
Meanwhile, state officials said Monday that any
business that anticipates it will have a 2008 business tax liability of at
least $800 will have to file quarterly estimated payments. Payments under
the new tax will be due on April 15, July 15, October 15, 2008 and January
15, 2009.
