LANSING – The Michigan Department of Treasury is hosting several sales tax outreach seminars across the Lower Peninsula in August to provide insight to and receive feedback from small businesses.

Treasury Outreach Team members will be providing an overview of the sales tax filing process, the ins and outs of auditing and how to appeal an audit decision, including dedicating a portion of the session to taxpayer questions and suggestions. These seminars are ideal for owners of gas stations, convenience stores, wine, beer and liquor stores or other small businesses.

“Due to popular demand, Treasury is expanding its small business sales tax seminar tour across the state,” said Deputy Treasurer Glenn White, head of Treasury’s Tax Administration Group. “Small businesses can receive special attention and one-on-one help at these seminars. Taxpayer feedback has been that the sessions provide valuable information and insight.”
