 Value of a Lansing Voice The MBT wasn’t eliminated because a lot of businesses didn’t like it. In fact many believe that for every business hurt by the MBT there may have been one it helped. The MBT was eliminated because an unbiased and even-keeled voice of citizens made clear that this tax structure was creating unnecessary complexity for business in Michigan. Joining in that chorus, the CPAs’ voice, while not advocating a position, expertly conveyed the difficulty this tax policy created for business. Now the MBT is dead and a smarter tax structure has replaced it; further, tax amnesty was offered by the state. All of that occurred in a short six-month timeframe. More than ever, CPA participation is making a strong impact on the direction of our great state. With a CPA as governor as well as an historic four CPAs in the Michigan House of Representatives, the profession is better represented than ever. With continued effort, the future remains bright for our profession. In the coming months we expect to see technical corrections to the still relevant MBT, and we will determine appropriate action resulting from our review of the new Corporate Income Tax. Moreover, we are working to resolve dangerous conflicts within regulatory law and to clarify laws regarding CPA liability to third parties that rely upon their work product. That CPAs continue to be heard in state government is vital while so many issues are on the table. This voice doesn’t come easy, and we need your help. We must support elected officials that are supportive of the CPA profession. Please consider contributing to the MACPA Political Action Committee (PAC) today.
