What are the penalty and interest charges if I pay my income tax late?

The Department of Treasury, State of Michigan, establishes the current interest rate on income tax delinquencies. This rate changes every six months on January 1 and July 1.

Penalty is calculated at a rate of 1% per month with a maximum of 25%.

Estimated tax payments are not underpaid if they equal 70% of the tax due on the final return or 70% of the tax due on the return for the preceding year. Underpaid estimated taxes are charged interest at prevailing per annum interest rates and penalties.
