CITY CREDIT WORKSHEET
CREDIT FOR TAX PAID TO ANOTHER MICHIGAN CITY
A resident shall be allowed a credit against the city income tax for the amount paid to the other municipality. The credit for tax paid
to the other city is based upon income that is also taxable in Muskegon. The credit shall not exceed the amount of taxes which
would be assessed under the City of Muskegon Income Ordinance on the same amount of income of a nonresident (.005). The
credit allowed is the tax paid to the other city or 0.5% (.005) of the amount earned in that city during 2004, less exemptions allowed
by the Muskegon Income Tax, whichever is smaller. Proof of payment to another city must be submitted. Attach a copy of the
return filed with the other city. No credit is allowed for tax paid to another city in another state.
A Muskegon resident working in Grand Rapids, which has a non-resident tax rate of 0.65% .0065, is only allowed a credit of 0.5%
.005 on their Muskegon tax return. This is the maximum amount of credit that the ordinance allows for a resident working in
another city with an income tax.
