An act to amend 1937 PA 94, entitled “An act to provide for the levy, assessment, and collection of a specific excise tax on the storage, use, or consumption in this state of tangible personal property and certain services; to appropriate the proceeds of that tax; to prescribe penalties; and to make appropriations,” by amending sections 2 and 21 (MCL 205.92 and 205.111), section 2 as amended by 2018 PA 1 and section 21 as amended by 2021 PA 109.
House Bills 4039 and 4253 respectively amend the General Sales Tax Act and the Use Tax Act to exempt certain delivery and installation costs from inclusion in the sales price (in the Sales Tax Act) and purchase price (in the Use Tax Act) on which the taxes are based. Specifically, under the bills, sales and use taxes are not imposed on delivery or installation charges if those charges are separately stated on the invoice, bill of sale, or similar document provided to the purchaser and the seller maintained its books and records to show separately the transactions used to determine the tax levied by the applicable act. (However, this does not apply to charges for delivery of gas or electricity by a utility.)
