If your business has employees or makes money, you'll need to pay taxes. Business owners from Michigan can learn more about Michigan state and local tax resources at Business.com.

Because state tax codes are updated and modified annually, business owners who keep their own books need to stay informed about changes. The state of Michigan's official website, Michigan.gov, is a great place to begin your search for information. The Michigan Department of Treasury section features downloadable forms, tax news, business filing information, and even a self-service form for looking up your business' tax information.

If you don't find all your answers on the state website, michiganstateandlocaltaxes.com is another excellent resource. The site is run by an accounting firm and has detailed information about recent Michigan tax law changes, including the Michigan Business Tax and the Small Business Tax. The accountants who run the site post blogs regularly, and you can sign up to receive notification whenever the site is updated.

Information about local taxes may be more difficult to locate, but the Small Business Association exists primarily to help business owners. Helping them determine their local tax obligation is one service the SBA offers. Your county assessor can also provide valuable information regarding tax liability for businesses.
