Repeal Michigan "estate tax"

Introduced in the House

Feb. 11, 2021

Introduced by Rep. Steven Johnson (R-72)

To repeal the 1899 state law authorizing a Michigan estate tax. While still on the books, current provisions set the actual tax rate at the same level of a state credit allowed on the federal estate tax, which means no money is now collected from this tax.
