Governor Whitmer has proposed a tax increase on some businesses to pay for the potential repeal of the so-called pension tax created under a 2011 tax code overhaul led by Governor Snyder. Here’s how the proposed tax increase may affect your business:
Currently, income for S-Corps, partnerships and LLC’s flows through to the owners/shareholders and is subject to Michigan’s 4.25% income tax. Governor Whitmer is proposing a 6% tax on that income, with a tax credit of 4.25% for business owners, resulting in a net tax increase of 1.75%. This increase is expected to offset losses from the expected pension tax repeal. For more information on this proposed tax increase, read the Detroit News article here.
