2010 House Bill 5755

Authorize energy efficient new home construction tax breaks

Introduced in the House

Jan. 14, 2010

Introduced by Rep. Jim Stamas (R-98)

To authorize a $2,000 Michigan Business Tax credit for a contractor who builds a new home that is purchased by a buyer as a residence, if the structure meets certain energy efficiency standards specified in the bill. The credit would not be “refundable” (that is, would not be a potential cash subsidy), but the amount exceeding a contractor’s tax liability could be “carried forward” and used against future years’ tax liability.

Referred to the Committee on Tax Policy
