SB 472 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Individual income tax: revenue distributions; earmark of withholding tax capture revenues into the more jobs for Michigan fund; provide for. Amends secs. 51f & 711 of 1967 PA 281 (MCL 206.51f & 206.711).

SB 472 redirects specific income tax revenues toward job creation programs. It requires that portions of withholding tax collected from businesses with "certified new jobs" (new positions) or "protected jobs" (existing positions) be deposited into two dedicated funds: the "Good Jobs for Michigan Fund" and the "More Jobs for Michigan Fund." Businesses participating in Michigan's strategic job programs must now separately report the tax amounts tied to these certified jobs on their annual tax filings. This affects employers with agreements under Michigan's job creation initiatives, ensuring targeted tax revenue flows directly to support workforce development.

Additionally, a new clause was added to mandate that employers entering specific community college agreements must separately report withheld taxes paid to the college on their annual returns.
