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: Fewer Than 250 Employees, Michigan Research University Credit
An eligible business with fewer 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: $50,000
- Expense year MQREs: $110,000
- Michigan research university MQREs: $25,000
Calculation
Standard credit = (3% × $50,000) + (15% × ($110,000 − $50,000))
= $1,500 + (15% × $60,000)
= $1,500 + $9,000
= $10,500
Michigan research university credit = 5% × $25,000 = $1,250
Unadjusted credit = $10,500 + $1,250 = $11,750
