The Michigan House of Representatives may vote on a taxation bill today (Thursday, May 24, 2007) which will extend sales tax to certain services and entertainment in Michigan. This would include bowling. What this would mean is that bowling would be subject to the 6% sales tax that we pay on products in the state. Even league contracts would be subject to the tax, which will mean an increase in league lineage costs.
Obviously this is only the first step in this becoming law. If this bill is passed by the Michigan House of Representatives then it will be sent to the Michigan Senate for their action. If the bill passes both bodies then it would require the governor's signature to be enacted.
Now is the time to become informed and weigh in on the subject with your local Representative.
