Summary

The bill amends Michigan’s General Sales Tax Act to let retailers give a tax credit for the agreed‑upon value of a portable electronic device that a consumer trades in when buying a new or used device. The credit reduces the taxable sales price, affecting electronics retailers and consumers who trade in phones, tablets, laptops, etc. It aligns electronic device trade‑ins with existing vehicle and watercraft trade‑in credits.
