Michigan may adopt piggyback income tax plan
Representative Strange signals approval for a House package to revise Michigan taxes. The plan combines a 7 percent state levy on federal income tax, a corporate profits tax, and repeals of several business taxes to simplify administration and broaden base. The proposal aims to shift the tax burden toward profits while eliminating most existing business taxes. The package would repeal the intangibles tax and reduce enforcement costs, with varied rates for banks and corporations. Action in the House may already be underway, with more details promised in a future column.
