2009 House Bill 5641

Authorize MEGA interest expense tax break

Introduced in the House

Dec. 2, 2009

Introduced by Rep. Kevin Green (R-77)

To authorize a Michigan Business Tax credit equal to half the interest expense incurred by a Michigan Economic Growth Authority subsidy or tax break beneficiary for money borrowed to make the capital investment for which the subsidy or tax break was offered. These credits would not be “refundable” (that is, would not be a cash subsidy), but could be “carried forward” from year to year to offset future MBT liability.

Referred to the Committee on New Economy and Quality of Life
