LANSING, Mich. — The Michigan Senate voted today to replace a proposed sales tax on services such as drycleaning set to take effect on Dec. 1. Approved 20-16, the Republican plan would replace the unpopular proposal an increase in the new Michigan Business Tax, or MBT.
The Senate plan seeks to impose a smaller MBT surcharge on all businesses temporarily, and would limit any single business’ liability to $7.5 million. An earlier House version set the limit at $2 million, giving big businesses a bigger break.
