Form D U1 PDF Details

Navigating the complexities of municipal tax obligations requires a clear understanding of specific forms and mandates, particularly for entities operating within Detroit. The D-U1 form, a crucial document for managing utility users' taxes, is a cornerstone for businesses to comply accurately with the City of Detroit's tax requirements. On a monthly basis, this form captures essential data including the beginning and ending dates, the Federal Employer Identification Number, the taxpayer's name and address, alongside detailed information on the taxes billed and self-assessed taxes across utilities such as electricity, telephone, gas, and others. Furthermore, it allows for deductions including collection fees, write-offs, refusals, and refunds, thereby accurately portraying the net tax due. Importantly, the form stipulates the need for detailed documentation of various lines, including transported gas transactions and other adjustments that might impact the tax calculation. Businesses are mandated to remit the form and payment by the last day of the month following the month reported, ensuring timely compliance. Beyond monthly filings, an annual return compounds the compliance landscape, highlighting the procedural and substantive nuances that businesses must navigate to maintain good standing with the municipal tax authority. Moreover, the underpinning declaration under penalty of perjury underscores the seriousness and legal implications tied to the form's accurate and complete submission. All told, the D-U1 form epitomizes the intricate interplay between businesses and municipal tax regulations, serving as a vital tool for both accountability and operational transparency.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORM D-U1

DETROIT UTILITY USERS TAX

MONTHLY RETURN

FILING — A return must be filed for each month of the calendar year. Tax amounts billed or self tax amounts for any given month must be remitted on or before the last day of the following month. If no tax was billed, or no self tax is due, you must nevertheless file a return with the nota- tion “NONE” on line 5 or line 20. In addition, the filing of an annual return is required on Form D-U1A. The annual return is due on or before April 30th following the end of the tax year.

TAX BILLED (Lines 1-5) — Public utilities and resale customers should report the amount of tax billed utility users during the month shown on the return.

DEDUCTIONS (Lines 6-10) — Public utilities and resale customers may deduct from the amount due the City of Detroit a collection fee, an adjustment for tax billed but not actually col- lected, refusals to pay and refunds made to utility users.

Collection Fee — A collection fee of 1% of the tax billed utility users (Line 5) is deduct- ed from total tax.

Write-offs — The Detroit tax previously billed on utility billings, which have been deter- mined to be uncollectible and were written off by the Public Utility or resale customer, may be deducted from the amount due the City.

Refusal to Pay — If a “User” refuses to pay the tax billed, a deduction may be made for such amounts. However, a listing showing user’s name, address and amount billed must be submitted with your return to support your deduction.

Refunds — If tax previously billed and remitted to Detroit is refunded at a later date, the tax refunded may be deducted from your current remittance.

TOTAL TAX BILLED — Report Tax Billed, line 5, less the sum of your deductions for collec- tion fee, write-offs, refusals and refunds, line 10. Enter on line 11.

SELF TAX (Lines 12-20) — Resale customers should report the tax due on utilities used in their business.

Transported Gas — Lines 14-18 are to be completed only by utility users who purchased natural gas from vendors away from MichCon. Enter the applicable cost of gas purchased infor- mation and compute the tax at 5%.

OTHER (Line 19) — All other adjustments to the tax due, may be reported on Line 19; howev- er, an explanation and schedules to support your adjustment must be submitted with your return. TOTAL TAX DUE (Line 21) — Total Tax Due is the sum of Total Tax Billed and Total Self Tax, lines 11 and 20.

PAY THIS AMOUNT (Line 21) — Make your remittance payable to “Treasurer, City of

Detroit” and mail to: Income Tax Division 46501, P.O. Box 67000, Detroit, MI 48267-0465.
