Terms Used In Michigan Laws 206.132

  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts

  • state: when applied to the different parts of the United States, shall be construed to extend to and include the District of Columbia and the several territories belonging to the United States; and the words "United States" shall be construed to include the district and territories. See Michigan Laws 8.3o
    In the case of taxable income other than that derived from the transportation of oil or gas by pipeline, that portion of the net income of the taxpayer derived from transportation services wherever performed that the revenue miles of the taxpayer in Michigan bear to the revenue miles of the taxpayer everywhere. A revenue mile means the transportation for a consideration or 1 net ton in weight or 1 passenger the distance of 1 mile. The taxable income attributable to Michigan sources in the case of a taxpayer engaged in the transportation both of property and of individuals shall be that portion of the entire net income of the taxpayer which is equal to the average of his passenger miles and ton mile fractions, separately computed and individually weighted by the ratio of gross receipts from passenger transportation to total gross receipts from all transportation, and by the ratio of gross receipts from freight transportation to total gross receipts from all transportation, respectively. If it is shown to the satisfaction of the department that the foregoing information is not available or cannot be obtained without unreasonable expense to the taxpayer, the commissioner may use such other data which may be available and which in the opinion of the department will result in an equitable allocation of such receipts to this state.
