Understanding Michigan’s Data Center Tax Reporting: Requirements, Deadlines, and Impact on State Revenue

  • Michigan’s Treasury Department requires data center operators to report annually using Form 5726 for sales or use tax exemptions.
  • The filing is due by January 31st of the year after the end of the calendar year.
  • The requirement aims to assess the financial impact on key funds like the School Aid Fund and General Fund.
  • Public Acts 29 and 30 of 2020 mandate submitting yearly reports by January 31st of the following year.
  • Filing Form 5726 fulfills reporting obligations but does not claim exemptions.
  • If no activity occurred, filing is not necessary.
  • The form and guidelines can be accessed on the Michigan Treasury’s website.
  • Specifics on eligible exemptions can be found in the Treasury’s Notice Regarding Data Center Exemption.
  • Queries about filing can be directed to Tax Technical Services at 517-636-4357.
  • Compliance with Form 5726 helps evaluate the impact of tax exemptions on state revenue and maintains transparency in fund allocation.
