LANSING, MI (WTVB) – If Michigan voters pass a one-percent sales tax increase when they head to the polls in May, they could also be increasing the amount they pay on their federal income taxes. Included in legislation aimed at raising $1.2 billion for road fixes is a clause that says vehicle registration fees will no longer be deductible on a person’s tax return. Patrick Anderson with Anderson Economic Group says that will cost an average taxpayer $85 a year.
This is another potential impasse to getting the legislation passed. It’s already considered a long-shot with the voters.
