  39. Proposed Changes to FY 2012 Budget

  40. Strengths of Proposal • Treats tax expenditures as spending- finally • Improves horizontal equity • $200 million for OPEB funding • Addresses structural budget deficit • Simplifies business tax

  41. Weaknesses of Proposal • Increases income inequality • Shifts burden from business (particularly well off professionals) to seniors and low income families • Employee concessions excessive- requires 8.5% pay cut plus 20% payment for health care • Increased taxes on individuals will offset benefits of lower business taxes • Revenue sharing cuts will be devastating

  42. Weaknesses of proposal (cont.) • Corporate income tax is unstable and easy to manipulate • Education cuts will hurt economic future

  43. Priorities • Retain all or most of EITC • Reduce revenue sharing cuts • Reduce tax burden on low-income seniors • Reduce tax cuts for non-corporate businesses • Reduce education cuts

  44. Proposed Changes • Extend 6% corporate income tax to business income with a possible exemption of $250,000-raises $550-$700 million • Retain a 0.1% gross receipts tax on all business- raises $250 million • Impose a tax on selected services such as sports tickets and service contracts • Provide a $20,000 pension exemption for individual returns and $40,000 for joint returns, or at minimum phase out exemption

  45. Proposed Changes (cont.) • Leave the income tax at 4.35%- saves average taxpayer less than $1 a week- raises $165 million • Retain or possibly reduce EITC to 10 or 15% for two years • Use revenue in excess of estimates to restore revenue sharing cuts or cut in EITC- revenues likely to be at least $200 million higher in both FY 2011 and FY 2012 • Add one tax credit for all charitable contributions- $150/$300

  46. Michigan Business Tax • A Business Income Tax at 4.95% • A Modified Gross Receipts Tax at 0.8% • Surcharge added at 21.99% capped at $6 million per taxpayer. • Provides over 30 tax credits. • Increases reliance on profits, so revenue will be more volatile than SBT. • Revenue: $2.3 billion in FY09 and an estimated $1.9 billion in FY10 & $2.2 billion in FY11. • Businesses with gross receipts of < $350,000 do not have to file a return and businesses with < $20 million in gross receipts only pay a tax of 1.8% of profit.

  47. State Business Taxes as % of GDP

  48. Corporate Income Tax Pros & Cons PROS • Only corporations making a profit would pay. • Widely used, therefore multistate companies would have lower compliance costs. • Longer legal history provides more certainty CONS • Revenue stream is extremely volatile (federal corporate income tax revenue declined 55% in FY 2009). • Many businesses (noncorporations) avoid the tax. • No direct relationship between profitability and dependence on government services.

  49. Business Tax Cuts Will Not Create Many New Jobs • Business tax cuts offset by tax increases on individuals and families and spending cuts • Most of tax relief goes to non-mobile retail and service businesses • Business taxes are only 5% of state GDP and tax cut amounts to only 0.5% of GDP

  50. Business Tax Cuts by Sector • Services- $575 million • Prof.& Tech services- $181 million • Manufacturing- $279 million • Retail Trade- $153 million • Wholesale trade- $139 million • Real Estate- $110 Million • Construction- $90 million • Finance & Ins.- $75 million • Other- $112 million
