Section 205.253 - Tax on personal property.
Act 188 of 1899
205.253 Tax on personal property.
Sec. 53.
A tax shall not be imposed in respect of personal property, except tangible personal property having an actual situs in this state, if 1 of the following applies:
(a) The transferor at the time of the transfer was a resident of a state or territory of the United States, or of any foreign country, that at the time of the transfer did not impose a transfer tax or death tax of any character in respect of personal property of residents of this state, except tangible personal property having an actual situs in that state or territory or foreign country.
(b) If the laws of the state, territory, or country of residence of the transferor at the time of the transfer contained a reciprocal exemption provision under which nonresidents were exempted from transfer taxes or death taxes of every character in respect of personal property, except tangible personal property having an actual situs in that state, territory, or country, provided the state, territory, or country of residence of the nonresidents allowed a similar exemption to residents of the state, territory, or country of residence of the transferor. For the purposes of this section, the District of Columbia and possessions of the United States are considered territories of the United States. As used in this section, “foreign country” and “country” mean both any foreign country and any political subdivision of that country, and either of them of which the transferor was domiciled at the time of his or her death. For the purposes of this section, “tangible personal property” is construed to exclude all property commonly classified as intangible personal property, such as deposits in banks, mortgages, debts, receivables, shares of stock, bonds, notes, credits, evidences of an interest in property, evidences of debt, and like incorporeal personal property.
