Subject: Interest Rates on Michigan Tax Tribunal Judgments
Public Act 220 of 2012 provides that, after June 30, 2012, the Tax Tribunal interest rate shall be calculated twice a year for the periods of January 1 to June 30 and July 1 to December 31. The interest rate is established as the “adjusted prime rate” plus 1%. The “adjusted prime rate” is the average predominant prime rate quoted by not fewer than 3 commercial banks to large businesses during a preceding six-month period, as determined by the Department of Treasury.
Prior to July 1, 2012, the average interest rate was calculated annually utilizing the average auction rate of 91-day discount Treasury bills in the prior State fiscal year. Announced interest rates through June 30, 2012, may be found in Bulletin 14 of 2012.
