You will owe penalty and interest for late payment of tax if you pay after the due date.
Penalty accrues monthly at 1 percent of the tax due, and increases by an additional 1 percent per month, or fraction thereof (e.g. penalty on a $500 tax due will be $30 if the tax is unpaid for six months).
The interest rate is 1 percent above the adjusted prime rate and is adjusted on January 1 and July 1 of each year. Interest is charged from the original due date of the return to the date the balance of the tax is paid.
The City Tax Administration provides the City of Detroit with the current status of all items related to income tax filings and payments. The City of Detroit uses this, along with any other relevant information, to determine approval or denial of any tax clearance request.
If you are denied a tax clearance and submit payments and/or returns not previously on file. It may take up to 21 days for these items to be processed. This timeframe is standard for receipt of information for anyone submitting returns or payments by US mail. If you have a question about the receipt of returns or payments, you may visit Check My Tax Information or contact the City Tax Administration by calling 517-636-5829.
If you were denied a clearance for not filing a return, but you don't believe you were required to file, you should contact the City of Detroit's Clearance team by email at cityofdetroitclearances@detroitmi.gov or by calling 313-224-3560 and selecting option 4.
