To increase the income cap (“household resources” cap) at which the value of a property tax credit a homeowner or renter can claim against his or her state income tax begins to phase-out, from $41,000 to $51,000. The bill would also make more gradual the extent to which each $1,000 in additional income above this amount diminishes the credit. In other words, the bill would reduce the “cliff” effect of a <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2011-HB-4361"> tax reform and business tax cut law </a> that placed new income limits on this credit.

Passed in the Senate 37 to 1 (details)
To increase the maximum income cap (“household resources” cap) on a property tax credit a homeowner or renter may claim against his or her state income tax begins to phase-out, from $50,000 to $70,000. The vote is part of a deal made with Democrats by Gov. Rick Snyder and Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville to get their votes on a $1.2 billion fuel tax increase, and will only go into effect if that tax hike is enacted.
