2009 House Bill 4867

Extend business tool and equipment tax credit to leased items

Introduced in the House

April 29, 2009

Introduced by Rep. Jeff Mayes (D-96)

To extend a Michigan Business Tax credit against the property tax imposed on business tools and equipment (“personal property tax”) to include this tax when it is imposed on leased tools and equipment, as proposed by House Bill 4866.

Referred to the Committee on Tax Policy

May 7, 2009

Substitute offered by Rep. Andy Dillon (D-17)

The substitute passed by voice vote

Amendment offered by Rep. Tom McMillin (R-45)

To tie-bar the bill to Senate Bill 71, meaning this bill cannot become law unless that one does also. SB 71 would require the Michigan Economic Growth Authority (MEGA) to submit reports to the legislature with details of the individual tax break deals it offers, not just aggregate data.

The amendment failed by voice vote
