A bill to amend 1967 PA 281, entitled “Income tax act of 1967,” (MCL 206.1 to 206.847) by adding section 672.
HB 4367 and 4368 propose an amendment to the Income Tax Act of 1967, specifically by adding section 672, which would allow Michigan taxpayers to claim a credit against their state income tax for qualified research and development expenses incurred within the state. The credit would be equal to 15% of the qualifying expenses, with a maximum credit of $2,000,000 per taxpayer per tax year. The total amount of credits available in a single tax year is capped at $500,000,000, and if claims exceed this limit, credits will be reduced proportionally. Unused credits can be carried forward for up to 15 years but are not refundable.
