Are state tax incentives available for businesses?

Yes, for qualifying equipment. Under Michigan's NextEnergy program alternative energy property can be exempt from business and personal property taxes. Alternative energy property can include energy systems using any of the following: fuel cells, solar photovoltaic cells, solar thermal systems, wind energy, combined heat and power (CHP), micro- or mini-turbines, Stirling engines, certain kinds of batteries or electricity storage systems, and certain kinds of clean fuel energy systems. This list is not all-inclusive. Be sure to see the documents on the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) website in order to determine whether the type(s) of equipment you have in mind might qualify. In addition, businesses can claim a credit against their Single Business Tax liability. Questions can be directed to Vince Nystrom, MEDC, at (517) 241-5898.
