Tax breaks for: Native Americans
Has Michigan got a deal for you
Click on any of the categories below to see how many tax breaks are out there, and how much they cost the state treasury. The numbers were taken from the state's executive budget for 2013 and 2014.
| Type of tax | Category | 2014 tax break value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales and Use Tax Expenditures | Tribal Tax Agreement | Exempts certain sales of tangible personal property to tribes and tribal members for use within a designated agreement area, while providing for increased collections on sales to non-members. | |
| State Income Tax | Tribal Tax Agreements | Exempts all non-business income of resident tribal members from the income tax. Business income will be allocated based on the percentage of business activity that takes place within tribal and trust lands. | |
| Motor Fuel Taxes | Tribal Tax Agreements | Provides for tribes to obtain tax-free motor fuel for use by the tribe, tribal entities, and resident tribal members. Sales to other parties made by tribal retailers will be fully taxed. |
In some cases, the state does not estimate the value of a tax break, leaving the tax break value empty in its tables.
