Tax, Tax, Tax
State tax issues have dominated the agendas of
many in the Capitol over recent weeks – including the administration of
Governor Rick Snyder, CPA, the State Legislature and the MACPA. Although
some items have been more “headline grabbing” than others, all are clearly
important to MACPA members, and their clients and employers.
Record-Setting
Audience Greets Governor
At Spring Members Advisory Symposium
Nearly 400 MACPA members warmly welcomed Governor and fellow CPA Rick
Snyder at the Spring Members Advisory Symposium on May 12, 2011 in Lansing.
The Governor drew cheers during his keynote speech when he announced the
Senate was preparing to vote that afternoon on eliminating the Michigan
Business Tax. He predicted, “The Michigan Business Tax is dead.” His
forecast came true before dinnertime.

Happy 110th
Anniversary, MACPA!
On May 3, 1901, four accountants – John Clegg, William Thorne, Charles
Zielke and E.H. Beach – filed Articles creating the Incorporated Michigan
Association of Accountants. These four professionals likely never imagined
they were launching a professional association that would today boast 18,000
members, with nearly 1,000 of those members involved on more than 70 task
forces and committees.
