House Fiscal Agency Analysis

House Bill 4992 would modify the City Income Tax Act (“Act”) to provide new and modified city income tax collection procedures and expand certain conditions to all cities who enter into an agreement with the Department of Treasury (“department”) to administer, enforce, and collect the city income tax. The bill would authorize an employer that does not do business in or maintain an establishment in a city that has entered into an agreement with the department to administer, enforce, and collect the city income tax to voluntarily register to withhold taxes on compensation of employees that are residents of that city. Current law limits this registration to employers with employees who are residents of the city of Detroit.
