A bill to amend 1967 PA 281, entitled “Income tax act of 1967,” (MCL 206.1 to 206.847) by adding section 677.
Enables authorized businesses to claim a tax credit for qualifying research and development expenses from January 1, 2024. The credit varies for businesses with 250 or more employees (up to $2,000,000) and those with fewer (up to $250,000) per tax year. An additional 5% credit is available for expenses over the base amount in collaboration with a Michigan research university, capped at $200,000 annually. Claims must be submitted by March 15 following the expense year, with the Department of Treasury adjusting claims if the total exceeds section limits. The aggregate credit amount across all taxpayers cannot exceed $100,000,000 annually.
