Beginning January 1, 2016 the Michigan Department of Treasury will, pursuant to an agreement between the City of Detroit and the Department, administer the City of Detroit Income tax on behalf of the City for tax periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015.
The process and timelines for appeals of City of Detroit Income Tax matters are different than the timelines and process for appeals of State income taxes.
A taxpayer who wishes to protest an Intent to Assess issued by the Department of Treasury on behalf of the City may do so by sending a written protest to the Department within 30 days of receipt of the Notice of Intent to Assess.
