State relaxes tax deadlines
LANSING, Mich. — Certain businesses disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic will have even more time to make monthly or quarterly sales, use and withholding tax payments, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury.
Business taxpayers scheduled to make sales, use and withholding tax payments for March and April or for the first quarter of 2020 can postpone filing and payment requirements until May 20. The state Treasury Department will waive all penalties and interest.
Specific information about Treasury providing continued tax assistance to businesses because of the COVID-19 pandemic can be found in Penalty and Interest Waived for 30 Days for Monthly and Quarterly Sales, Use and Withholding Returns due Monday.
Business taxpayers are encouraged to file sales, use and withholding tax returns and pay taxes owed by the original due date if able.
