Michigan Business Tax Estimator

The Michigan Department of Treasury has announced an updated Web site dedicated to the new Michigan Business Tax (MBT). A new version of the Michigan Business Tax (MBT) Estimator is now available that takes into account the new surcharge that was signed into law in exchange for the elimination of the service tax. This program allows you to estimate your tax liability under the new MBT, which replaced the previous tax plan, the Single Business Tax (SBT). The Estimator is intended to give an approximation and comparison of your tax liability. The new Web site also contains an overview of the new MBT, along with details on various elements such as Nexus, Unitary Filing, and Apportionment. Recent MBT presentations, including two Webinars, can be downloaded from the site as well.

The link to the Web site is below:

Please keep us informed on any unforeseen consequences that the new MBT may impose on your business by utilizing the estimator. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please contact us at 800.454.7842 or mar@mirealtors.com.
