2007 Senate Bill 685

Repeal Detroit income tax reduction law

Introduced in the Senate

Aug. 22, 2007

Introduced by Sen. Tupac Hunter (D-5)

To repeal a law that requires Detroit to gradually reduce its city income tax to 2.0 percent for residents and 1.0 percent for non-residents who work in the city. The law lets Detroit postpone annual one-tenth of a percent reductions if certain conditions apply, which has been the case since 2004, but will not apply this year. Under the bill Detroit’s income tax would remain at 2.5 percent for residents and 1.25 percent for non-residents who work in the city.

Referred to the Committee on Finance
