Chelsea Area Chamber of Commerce

2008 Citizen of the Year and Lifetime Achievement Award Winners! The Chelsea Area Chamber of Commerce and the Chelsea Standard would like to announce:

Citizen of the Year: Sheila Morrison-Patrias

for her tireless efforts to establish Ele's Place, a healing center for grieving children. The non-profit community-based organization serves Chelsea, Dexter, Ann Arbor, Manchester and greater Washtenaw County. Sheila's fundraising abilities, leadership recruitment, and community outreach have raised nearly $500,000 in gifts and pledges. In May, 2007, Ele's Place launched programming for the children of Chelsea and throughout Washtenaw County.

Lifetime Achievement Award: Art Dils

Art is among those special people whose professional and volunteer contributions over a long period of time have helped make Chelsea the great community it is today. His numerous volunteer positions include Board Member and Pres. of the Chelsea Area Chamber of Commerce, Pres. of Chelsea School District Board of Education, Chelsea Community Hospital Board Trustee, Huron Valley Ambulance Board, and many other Board positions and community ad hoc committees.

Information on the new Michigan Business Tax

A Message from CACC Executive Director

We have received several questions on the new Michigan Business Tax. The link for the MBT website is www.michigan.gov/mbt. This page links to the frequently asked questions and also spells out some of the general information. Also, the qualifications for the alternate 1.8% rate:

$20 million or less in gross receipts
$1.3 million or less in adjusted business income
$180,000 or less in income for any one owner of the business

Businesses who meet these criteria qualify for a credit that effectively allows them to pay a 1.8% tax on adjusted business income. In addition, taxpayers who qualify for this credit are also exempt from the 22% surcharge.

I hope you find this information helpful. You can also contact Rep. Byrnes office directly for more detailed information: Dist052@house.mi.gov or phone 1-800-645-1581
