Corporate Income Tax Rate at a Glance

Michigan's top corporate income tax rate is 6%, applied as a flat rate. This places Michigan in the "Moderate (5–7.99%)" tier among U.S. states.

Rate Structure (Flat vs. Graduated)

6.0% flat Corporate Income Tax (CIT) on C-corporations. The CIT replaced the Michigan Business Tax in 2012.

S-Corp & Pass-Through Treatment

Michigan recognizes federal S-corp election. S-corps, partnerships, and LLCs taxed as partnerships are NOT subject to the Corporate Income Tax; income passes through to owners. Pass-through entities may elect entity-level taxation at 4.25% (matching individual flat tax) under Michigan's flow-through entity tax election.
