Michigan Business Taxes

For most businesses, a Michigan location means business tax comparable to other states.  Michigan business taxes are in the middle-of-the-pack , according to the Council on State Taxation. Motivated, in part, by an attractive  business environment, several top U.S. companies have recently made major investments in Michigan. They include:

• Google 
• Hemlock Semiconductor
• United Solar Ovonic
• General Dynamics Land Systems

Michigan business taxes have recently been reformed thanks to the Michigan Business Tax (MBT). To find out more information on Michigan's tax structure click here.
