How Local Sales Tax Works in Michigan
Michigan’s constitution caps the sales tax rate and does not permit local sales taxes, so the 6% state rate is the only rate anywhere in Michigan. There are no county, city or district add-ons to track.
Which Michigan Rate Should You Charge?
There are no local rates, so the delivery address within Michigan does not change the rate. Sourcing matters only for deciding between Michigan and another state.
What Michigan Taxes — and What It Doesn’t
Groceries for home consumption and prescription drugs are exempt. Prepared food is taxable. Most services are untaxed, which keeps Michigan’s base narrower than many neighbouring states.
