Other Michigan taxes are summarized, as well, with particular emphasis placed on persons or transactions subject to tax, exemptions, basis and rate of tax, and returns and payment.
For the user's convenience in determining what is new in the Michigan tax law, a special Highlights of Tax Changes section is included to provide at-a-glance awareness of key recent developments in the law.
