19 March 2020 Michigan to waive small business penalty and interest for late withholding tax payments for 30 days in connection with COVID-19 The Michigan Department of Treasury announced that due to the State of Emergency issued in Executive Order 2020-04 in connection with COVID-19, it is waiving penalty and interest for the late payment of tax or the late filing of the return due on March 20, 2020. The waiver will be effective for a period of 30 days; therefore, any return or payment currently due on March 20, 2020 may be submitted to the Department without penalty or interest through April 20, 2020. The waiver is limited to sales, use, and withholding payments and returns due March 20, 2020. Any payment or return otherwise due after that date will not be eligible for the current waiver. The waiver is not available for accelerated sales, use, or withholding tax filers. Those taxpayers should continue to file returns and remit any tax due as of the original due dates.
