What's in the Michigan rate file

Michigan data ships inside every edition — we do not sell single-state files. Each row carries the ZIP code, county and city name, the rate at each jurisdiction level, the combined total, and whether shipping is taxable. The higher editions add district reporting codes, FIPS codes, effective dates and sales tax holiday windows.

Official Michigan sales tax resources

Every link below goes to an official Michigan government source, not to us. The state is always the authority — our file is how you avoid checking it by hand every month.

How local tax works in Michigan. Michigan does not allow cities or local units to impose sales or use tax. The 6% state rate is the only rate, dropping to 4% on residential utility fuel.

Worth knowing. Flat 6% statewide with no local layer and no holiday, so the compliance work is filing rather than rate sourcing. All filers must submit an annual reconciliation return by 28 February in addition to monthly or quarterly returns.

Questions

Michigan sales tax questions

What is the sales tax rate in Michigan?

The statewide base rate is 6%. Michigan has no local sales taxes, so the statewide rate is the rate everywhere — one of the few states where that is true.

Is shipping taxable in Michigan?

It depends on how you bill it. In Michigan a separately stated shipping charge is generally not taxable — but bill shipping and handling as one combined charge and the whole thing becomes taxable.

That distinction catches people out, which is why our file carries both flags — TAX_SHIPPING_ALONE and TAX_SHIPPING_AND_HANDLING_TOGETHER — on every row, for the specific jurisdiction. Your system doesn't have to encode the rule.

How many sales tax jurisdictions are there in Michigan?

None — Michigan has no county, city or district sales taxes, so the state rate is the entire rate across all 1,159 MI ZIP codes. That is rare, and it is why a single statewide number is safe here and almost nowhere else.
