2004 House Bill 5504 ↩

House Roll Call 383: Passed

To authorize the Department of Treasury to negotiate a multi-state agreement to create a centralized system for the collection of use or sales tax on purchases made by Michigan citizens from out-of-state merchants. This would apply to retail purchases made over the Internet or from catalogs. The bill is part of a "streamlined sales tax" package comprised of House Bills 5502 to 5505. Estimates of how much it would increase the amount of tax paid by citizens range from $30 million to $500 million a year.
