Tax Bracket Confusion Over Michigan Four Percent Tax
The Clare Sentinel reports mixed feelings as retailers use varying collection brackets for the new four percent sales use tax. State guidance allows a presumed discharge of liability if remitted at 4 percent or 1 percent of total sales, while retailers and the Michigan Retailers Association push different brackets to minimize customer confusion. Receipts must show seller name, date, amount, and tax for possible rebates if the court case fails. Representative Russell H Strange Jr. notes the hot yield from the one cent increase at about 120 million dollars and promises details in next week’s issue.
