The Snyder Administration’s budget seeks to eliminate the Michigan Business Tax (MBT) with a 6 percent Michigan Corporate Income Tax. The only tax credit that will remain will be the small business tax credit. The proposed corporate income tax will function as a tax on profit, and should not affect not-for-profit credit unions. A draft copy of the governor’s proposed budget can be found here.
The CUES event, held at the Marriott Eagle Crest Conference Resort in Ypsilanti, also featured CenCorp President and CEO Bill Walby, CUNA Senior Economist Mike Schenk and other presenters on risk management, capital markets and housing trends.
