Q: What is the sales tax in Michigan for e commerce?

In Michigan, that tax is called the &quot;use tax&quot; but might be more aptly described as a remote sales tax because it is a 6 percent tax owed on sales made remotely (i.e. outside of Michigan.) The use tax is not a new law; it was enacted in 1937.
