Another Sales Tax on Services Attempt Thwarted!

Treasury continues its policy of “mission creep” in suddenly deciding that something that has always been considered a service should now be classified as a “product” so that a state sales tax can be collected.  If these attempts are successful, then those that want to expand Michigan’s sales tax to services will succeed by doing it one service at a time. The latest victims of this practice were dental labs that provide denture and other dental prosthetic services for dentists. However, NFIB supported legislation to restore the tax treatment of these dental services is now on the Governor’s desk awaiting signature.
