Treasury is reviewing the recently enacted tax law changes, including the new Marijuana Wholesale Tax. Developing clear and accurate information for tax stakeholders is our top priority. This guidance will be posted to our website in the coming weeks.
Unadjusted Credit Example: 250 or More Employees, Standard Credit Reaches Maximum
An eligible business with more than 250 employees is claiming the Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credit and needs to calculate its unadjusted credit for the current expense year.
Inputs
- Base amount: $1,000,000
- Expense year MQREs: $22,000,000
- Michigan research university MQREs: $0
Calculation
Standard credit = (3% × $1,000,000) + (10% × ($22,000,000 − $1,000,000))
= $30,000 + (10% × 21,000,000)
= $30,000 + $2,100,000
= $2,130,000
Maximum standard credit for large employers: $2,000,000
Michigan research university credit = N/A
Unadjusted credit = $2,000,000
