Premier Tax Conference Drew
Sell-Out Crowd
Michigan’s new business tax is the hottest topic around for CPAs and
attorneys. The state’s new tax was the primary focus at the MACPA’s two-day
Michigan Tax Conference on November 7 and 8 in Livonia. The MACPA’s
first-ever tax conference featured almost 30 general and breakout sessions
with speakers from around the country and drew nearly 1,000 attendees
anxious to learn about the state’s new tax law.
All Signs Point to Service
Tax Elimination
At press time for Leaders’ Edge, the expanded Michigan Use Tax remains in
place – scheduled to include select services beginning December 1, 2007, as
enacted by Public Act 93 of 2007. Although introduced and acted upon in both
the Michigan House of Representatives and Senate, legislation to eliminate
or delay the new service tax has not been passed nor signed by Governor
Granholm.
