Auto-Related Sales Tax Earmark for Comprehensive Transportation Fund
Current understanding
HB 6079 would amend the General Sales Tax Act (1933 PA 167), specifically MCL 205.56 and 205.75, and add a new section 18a to earmark sales tax revenue attributable to auto-related sales (e.g., vehicles, parts, and related items) for deposit into Michigan’s Comprehensive Transportation Fund. The change would create a dedicated reporting and distribution mechanism separating auto-related sales tax collections from the general pool that funds schools, revenue sharing, and the general fund. The bill has been introduced; specific percentages, definitional scope of ‘auto-related’ sales, and the fiscal impact on existing recipients remain to be documented from bill text and analyses.
