The Michigan Department of Treasury has been made aware that some "Reminder of Tax Due" letters sent to taxpayers contain an incorrect toll-free (1-800) TTY number, which may connect callers to a potential scam. Taxpayers with questions regarding unpaid individual income taxes are asked to contact the Treasury directly at 517-636-4486. We apologize for any confusion or concern this may have caused.
About the Marihuana Retailers Excise (MRE) Tax
Michigan voters approved the legalization of the recreational use of Marihuana for adults 21 years of age and older. The resulting legislation known as the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act (MRTMA) imposes an excise tax of 10% on retail Marihuana sales in addition to a 6% sales tax. Both the Marihuana Retailers Excise (MRE) Tax of 10% and sales tax of 6% are administered by the Department of Treasury.
