Streamline sales and use tax: exemptions; tax on motor fuel; exclude. Amends secs. 3 & 5 of 2004 PA 175 (MCL 205.173 & 205.175). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4180'25, HB 4182'25, HB 4183'25, SB 0578'25
HB 4181 removes a sales tax exemption for certain motor fuel purchases by amending Michigan's 2004 tax code (MCL 205.173 & 205.175). The bill directly affects businesses and consumers purchasing motor fuel by eliminating an existing tax exemption, meaning these purchases will now be subject to sales tax. It streamlines the tax code by clarifying that motor fuel is no longer exempt from sales tax under the specified sections. The bill was enacted on October 7, 2025, and is now law as Public Act 18 of 2025.
