Alternative Dispute Resolution Program, Semiannual Reports

Reporting Requirement

MCL 205.21 establishes a reporting requirement for the department’s Alternative Dispute Resolution Program. Specifically, subsection (8) provides, “The department shall publish semiannually on the department's website a report containing the following information:

  1. The aggregate amount of the department's original determinations of liability attributed to settlements entered into during the reporting period.
  2. The aggregate settled amount of liability attributed to the settlements entered into during the reporting period.
  3. If the total number of settlements between taxpayers and the department entered into during the reporting period is 5 or more, include the actual number of settlements. If the number of settlements is less than 5, the department shall state ‘less than 5’.”

The department entered into its first settlement under the Alternative Dispute Resolution Program during the first 6 months of 2019. Accordingly, the department’s first semiannual report is for the period January 1, 2019, through June 30, 2019.
