LANSING, Mich. – Businesses that offer social gatherings for customers and have been affected by COVID-19 epidemic orders now have more time to make monthly or quarterly sales, use and withholding tax payments, the Michigan Department of Treasury announced Thursday.

The state Treasury Department has stated it will waive all penalties and interest for 33 days.

“Businesses impacted by COVID-19 have made incredible sacrifices to protect their communities, their employees, and their customers,” stated Governor Whitmer, “from the beginning, my administration has been working around the clock to provide our businesses with some crucial support as we work to end the pandemic, and I will continue to do so long after we beat this virus.”

The waiver is not available for accelerated sales, use or withholding tax fliers.
